Summary: Spectacular
Comment: This series really shows the rich wildlife of the Indian Subcontinent. Especially important as India is becoming so overpopulated that this may be the only way to see wild animals of the region in the future, although i hope this does not happen. I have been to the Badra Tiger Reserve in Southern India and let me tell you that seeing a wild Royal Bengal Tiger in its natural surroundings is something i will never forget.

Summary: Enchanting
Comment: An outstanding visual and factual meander through the entire Indian sub-continent exploring not only the world and lives of the most splendid feline species on earth but also the mammals and birds that inhabit the same breathtakingly beautiful and diverse land and seas. The series also serves to subtly remind just what we stand to lose should we humans continue destroying our fagile biosphere. The narrator, Valmik Thapar, has an obvious deep affection for the jewels in India's crown, with which he effortlessly infects the viewer. A magnificent, entralling tale (especially the stripey ones!). An absolute must-have.

Summary: Land of Enchantment
Comment: I first saw Land of the Tiger in 1997 shortly after returning from a trip to India. This ravishingly beautiful series is a tour de force at presenting the magnificence of the Indian sub-continent's indigenous wildlife. It was almost like continuing the holiday. India's wildlife is so overlooked compared to that in Africa. It is truly the only area of the World which is comparable in the diversity and splendour of its megafauna. Here are found deer and antelope, bison and buffalo, tigers, lions and leopards, wild dogs and wolves, elephants and rhinos, wild goats and wild asses. From the realm of the snow leopard in the snowy wastes of the Himalaya to the maneating tigers of the Sunderban mangrove forests, from the richly populated seas of the Indian Ocean to the forested hills of Khana (the land of Kipling's 'Jungle Books') this superb series is perfect in every respect. Valmik Thapar is a charismatic and knowledgeable guide and narrator. No more than one would expect of the curator of Ranthambore National Park and tiger reserve. The fact that India's wildlife survives on a knife edge, sharing the sub-continent with a billion people who add twenty million more to their number each year, makes this a particularly poignant series. Watch the animals while you can, buy this - it's great.
