MARTIN CLUNE'S WILD LIFE

I do not know how it is back in the game reserves in Africa, now 4-18-2024, But Martin Clunes series of 2014 is still so wonderful, to this old man to watch. I hope Martin is still able to do this so important of projects. I loved Doc Martin for 20 years, and love animal films. I live in Las Vegas, and hope all is well with Martin. H Dennis Evans

As a Martin Clunes fan for years seeing the contrast between the dog intolerant Doc Martin and the animal loving human being is a joyful experience. This is a wonderful experience for all. You can feel the fun and joy Martin feels during every moment. Am looking forward to watching it again soon.

I loved Martin Clunes in Doc Martin and after watching this documentary I realize just how great an actor he is. He plays such a withdrawn and uptight character and really makes you believe it. But you can see how genuinely kind and warm he is in this documentary about animals. He does a really good job presenting the information and makes you feel like you are there with him. I would buy every one that has been made in this series. Hopefully, more shows will be released here in the U.S. With all the garbage that is on TV it is good to know there is still really great TV out there.

I know this is a GREAT VIDEO but our two dogs will not let my family watch this wonderful DVD of majestic animalsespecially if there are any chasing or running or just showing animals in their natural habitat. A funny situation we havenot encountered before. Rin Tin Tin and Lassie never acted this way but they did not have such things as TV for entertainmentand such realistic TV pictures. But we do enjoy the parts we have seen.

Having read the other reviews, I felt I wanted to write one. I noted that the negative review was from someone with an 'academic' e-mail address - that perhaps explains the review. Part of the appeal of this series in my view is Martin Clunes' wonderment at the animals and their world. At a time when we are all probably somewhat cynical about a number of things, I felt the series brought a refreshing and educational look at serious issues. One laughed, one became emotional (or at least I did), but one also thought about the content. The animals themselves were delightful, and one can have nothing but respect for those of Martin's contacts, such as with Mugie, who show such commitment. I greatly appreciate Martin Clunes' work, dramatic and otherwise, (also his wife's work as a producer) and will keep an eye out for more...

Intelligent, warm, truly interesting journeys into the animal worlds of one who genuinely understands and loves animals. The humor and heart in both parts of the series are unforgettable. Martin Clunes is a master teacher of respect for animals. Here are wisdom and tenderness. One cannot come away from the viewing of this series unchanged, totally charmed, and valiantly wanting to help mankind wisely care about God's creatures of the animal kingdom.

This was both entertaining and enjoyable. It reflected Martin Clunes love of animals and concerns for their well-being and future prospects. I highly recommend it. And it's a joy to see Martin Clunes in another role besides his brilliant depiction of the dour Doc Martin who hates animals, which is so opposite to his, obvious, personal propensity. If he makes another DVD like this I will certainly buy it.

I only made it halfway through Eps. 1 and turned it off. Just too much about himself. Clune should take the camera out of his own face more and keep it to his subject. We really don't need close-ups of his animated delight to cue our emotions as if we are school children. Quite artless.I'm afraid I stopped watching at the point where Shaun (the wolf owner) presented us that harrowing scene of himself among the wolves at feeding, and Clune cuts to his own giggling expression and boyish delight as if the event were a spectacle for his entertainment, when clearly something deeply primal, raw and riveting about nature was happening before us. Is he so clueless? That scene was something I've never seen, nor surely will you have. I truly expected Shaun to stand up among his snarling beasts and quietly ask Clune if he mightn't rather contain himself. He clearly was just a spectator missing significance what he was being shown, a tourist to his own production. But he was sure to get his face in the lens and show us the delight we should be feeling.I might have loved to watch more but could no longer stand the childishness. Maybe the series is aimed at school children. Wish the descriptions had said so.
