...After four years in the making Planet Earth is the latest series of Nature Programmes to be presented by David Attenborough. The first of these five programmes was screened on BBC1 at 9pm on Sunday 5th March 2006 with the remaining four episodes in the first batch of Programmes following each Sunday afterwards at the same time slot. We are promised that Planet Earth will then return in the Autumn for a further six episodes and then a further three final episodes at the beginning of 2007, thus keeping our appetites wetted for the next twelve months. Planet Earth follows in the footsteps of some of the BBC's finest Nature Programmes to date that David Attenborough has presented including 'Life on Earth', 'Living Planet' and the 'Trials of Life' trilogy. I will always remember watching "Life on Earth" completely spellbound... Read review

Advantages: Absolutely stunning programme
Disadvantages: you might have missed it (it's not too late though)

...As I am writing this, it says at the top of the page 'Write a review of Planet Earth'. That does sound a little ambitious, so instead I will review Planet Earth, the programme. Last night, I watched the first instalment in this new series, and it was one of the best things I have seen on television, ever. I am a faithful audience for nature programmes, in particular the major ones done by David Attenborough, and I have always found the quality to be exceptional. But this was in a league of its own. If you missed it, try and catch the next ones, you will not regret it. ~General information~ ************************* Planet Earth is on BBC1 on Sunday nights from 9.00pm to 10.00. It is repeated on Saturdays at 6.30pm. The last 10 minutes are actually taken up by a 'making of' type programme. I don't normally like these... Read review

Advantages: Highly originally, technically superb, uplifting
Disadvantages: Guitarist not given enough chance to shine

...Well people I’m back, and as it’s been a good while now since I did a music review, I thought that I’d get the ball rolling again with a look through some of the favourite albums in my collection – one of which is the topic for today; Jamiroquai’s Emergency on Planet Earth. Now as you know, I’m not really one for delving into the history of the band and finding out masses of facts, but I am one to occasionally point out some interesting things about the artists. One of the things that I discovered about Jamiroquai quite recently was something that shocked me considerably – that is, behind The Spice Girls and the chubby crooner Gary Barlow’s Take That, Jamiroquai were the best selling band of the 90’s in the UK, making Jay Kay and the lads the 3rd best selling act of the decade...

Advantages: Cheap, Cheesey and Cheerful
Disadvantages: Small

...Having been a studen in leeds for the past two years and never venturing into planet earth (planet slap as it was known as due to the ladies who ventured inside and the pissed up lads who tried to pull them only to slap it on the revolving dance floor) I was pleasently surprised when earlier this month I stumbled upon the recently reopened Bondi Beach Bar. Cheap, Cheesey and Cheapfull. Lets start with Cheap, free entry with the good old NUS card and 2 for 1 drinks all night sunday to thursday. Cheese, which other club could give you such a range of music Abba to the A-team theme, Westlife, Chesney Hawkes, van morrison to name just a few. Then theres Cheerful after a few drinks the revolving dancefloor is very appealing and then you have to get on it, if your lucky it stops and you jump on before it starts, if your not that lucky you step...

...and was directed by Franklin Schaffner (Papillon , Patton) who was working closely with Arthur P. Jacobs who produced it (Dr Dolittle, Goodbye, Mr Chips). Jacobs brought on board Heston, and he in turn brought in Schaffner. Then the Pentology began. The films started off with a generous budget ($2 million) which became cheaper with each film made, but in my opinion still worth every penny. The story..... The Planet Of The Apes (1968) A space ship launched from Earth heads out to a distant star. the experts on Earth believe that as they travel earth time speeds up, where as their time remains constant.. Heston (Astronaut Taylor) is the last to go in to hibernation, and notes that the theory appears to be correct, looking at the date and time dial. The four astronauts on board are carried to the distant planet until it crash lands... Read review
