    Reptiles and Amphibians

    Both cold-blooded and vulnerable

    Despite how much he apparently dislikes the term "national treasure", that term really does sum up David Attenborough to a tee. He is such a great presenter (in his 90s and still sounds, and looks on a side note, great) and whenever a new series of his is aired they are often among the best the BBC has done in years.

    Am a great fan of a lot of Attenborough's work and BBC's nature documentaries with his involvement are among their best work in years.

'Life' is a crowning achievement for a documentary series and actually, like the best documentary shows, feels much more than that.

    Life in Cold Blood

    2008 British TV series or programme

    Life in Cold Blood is a BBCnature documentary series written and presented by David Attenborough, first broadcast in the United Kingdom from 4 February 2008 on BBC One.[1]

    A study of the evolution and habits of amphibians and reptiles, it is the sixth and last of Attenborough's specialised surveys following his major trilogy that began with Life on Earth, hence a ninth part for the eight series in The Life Collection.
