Product Description
The cult hit Channel Four series arrives on DVD. Olivia Judson plays Dr. Tatiana - the celebrated Agony Aunt for the Animal Kingdom in the world's first science musical. Based on her award-winning, best-selling book, the series explores a breathtaking variety of truly bizarre animal mating rituals and habits. The result is the most insightful and hugely entertaining series about natural history you will ever see.

I am a fan of the author, Olivia Judson, and use her rollicking good book in my course on Biology of Reproduction. But heaven save us from scientists that go Hollywood. As Dr Tatiana, OJ starts to look a little down at heel, her dress a little wrinkled, she wobbles a bit on her spikes, her smile morphs into rictus in later vignettes. The attempts at humor that give the book its charm, become ghastly pantomimes in the clumsily choreographed production numbers. I'd pass.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this DVD. I first saw the episodes on TV, and when I saw a chance to get my own copy of all three episodes, I jumped at it.
There are some shorts from other shows, as mentioned by another reviewer who complained about not being able to watch Tatiana, but he obviously didn't look at the menu properly, as the episodes are easily assessable from there. A possible glitch causes the excerpts/shorts to play first...
Anyway, a very good DVD that will make you laugh and learn. And sing along.

Enjoyed the film. It should be released in the US. The irreverent way sex is treated as well as showing nature does not always behave according to the rules set by our culture is disarming and would help to widen people's perspective on humans who are considered outside of the norm. It is very entertaining for those who do not wish to widen their perspective.
