Starting to get a few years old but fabulously filmed nonetheless. I have the DVD's, totally recommend it.

I bought it a little while back from Chapters and I love it. I have watched it a number of times now. Worth every penny spent.

.. Allthough some of the British pronounciation of words makes me laugh

I just have the one DVD with the Coral Seas on it, and I love it. I want to get the other two DVDs soon too. The cinematography, like any other BBC work, is amazing! Highly recommended.

Would love to own the set. Any idea if they are available in Canada? Or anyone feel like selling theirs?

I looked at a few place and I am now confused as to how many dvd's are in total for the complete set. Some places showed 2 dvd's while others showed 4 dvd's. How many is it exactly and how many hours in total?

There are 4 DVD's all together.
They sell them singularly, 2 packs and a 4 pack box set.
I highly recommend the entire set. Of the many DVD's I've bought and rented this is by far the best of all of them.

Each DVD has 2 episodes each almost an hour long, plus special features and making of documentaries. Plus the special features and behind the scenes are actually worth watching. You will find a 5 out of 5 review on every site that carries them.

Futureshop, HMV, and A&B Sound all carry them. (Futureshop has free shipping)
The box set is usually 69.99-74.99.

My personal favorites are the Deep Sea and the Coral Reef episodes.
