Description

Professor Brian Cox is back to tell the story of the planets as never before. Nestled amongst the shimmering stars of the heavens above are some truly awe inspiring sights. Volcanoes three times higher than Everest, geysers that erupt with frozen ice, storms that have raged for hundreds of years. Along side the most accurate and detailed imagery ever produced The Planets will use the latest planetary science research to piece together the gripping history of each world.

Excellent series

"All cgi for the brain dead", didn't know we can send camera crews around the solar system, other than read a book enjoy this informative series.

Huge disappointment

This could have and should have been a fantastic journey into the depths of our solar system. Catering to all viewers with varying degrees of scientific understanding.
Instead, it’s a cgi fest with low level science and boring exposition.
Brian cox literally sets up every shot walking to a point , usually the end of A
a cliff and then delivering his contrived script while staring off into the distant as if to create a profound moment . It’s cringeworthy.
For all the money spent on cgi could they not have invested in getting actually scientists to speak? Share their research?
Waste of time and effort

mmmm BBC

Over 40 years of watching BBC programs, i will no longer fund it, the science and history programs were incredible. No longer sadly, celeb types airbrushed with CGI.

Oh so poor

I wanted this to succeed, but it is all 'Spaaaaace, the final frontier', a sub-'O' level exposition of the way the solar system works. I keep hearing things like 'As good as Jakob Bronowski', but it's not. It really isn't. There is a place for this sort of thing, as an entry-level programme but, please, give us something higher, and stop pretending it is a work of intellectual genius. We are re-watching The Ascent of Man. It's still challenging but accessible. Can we have something like that, please? And I don't mean the BBC4 fillers.
It's not as if this is something that someone who studies astrophysics would watch to relax. It would annoy them intensely. Please can someone at the BBC produce something that makes us think?

It Is What It Is

Yes, the programme is accessible, but it’s also enjoyable and entertaining. I rarely learn anything new, but that’s only because I’ve spent most of my life studying astrophysics and following space discovery as it happens. It’s nice to sit back and enjoy it, but more importantly, I hope it encourages youngsters as well as adults to take an interest, think a little and realise that the world doesn’t revolve around them and that there is so much more to life than their own insignificant existence.

Astonishing

Quite simply breathtaking. BBC science show at its very very best. Beautiful music to accompany it also.
