Review Wild Europe (6pc) / Wgbh Boston:Forget the continent's culture and sophistication, this set of spectacular documentaries reveals Europe's wild side. From Gibraltar to the Arctic Circle, from the depths of the ocean to the top of the Alps, noted natural history filmmakers Peter Jones and Nick Upton have labored to take the camera into places few humans could ever visit. Even when concentrating on habitats known well to humans, as in Wild Cities (a video that focuses on wildlife that has adapted to Paris, London, Rome, and other cities), the camera manages to find realms where humans seldom venture. Wild Origins centers on animals indigenous to the world of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and Wild Grasslands features animals ranging from the lowly vole to the massive European bison. Wild Arctic explores the northern reaches of Scandinavia, where a deep winter gives way to a brief summer, and Wild Seas delves into the watery realms from Crete to the fjords of Norway. Wild Mountains is a gorgeously photographed look at animals atop the peaks of Europe and the British Isles. The narration is consistently intelligent and entertaining, and this set of documentaries is a remarkable achievement. -Robert J. McNamara Take off on an extravagant adventure into the wild! Swim with giant whales in Wild Seas. Explore the alpine habitat of the ibex in Wild Mountains. [+]Come face to face with fuzzy polar bears in Wild Arctic. Roam with mammoth bison in Wild Grasslands. Step back into ancient Greek and Roman civilization in Wild Origins, and see how wild critters adapt to urban life in Wild Cities. An ecological extravaganza that's perfect for exploring exotic places - or planning your next excursion. 6 hours on 6 videocassettes.
