Learning something had never been as much fun.The program’s stories were collected in categories (homemaking, courting, etc.), so you can watch first the stories where you have a particular interest. Of course, I highly recommend watching all discs from beginning to end, as all are fascinating. (I wouldn’t have believed before watching that I could be moved by the heroic efforts of a lace bug to protect her brood of tiny babies from a beetle!)The discs’ stories do run in order, sort of, showing the “trials” of animals’ lives from birth onwards, so watching them in order works best, but since it’s not a fictional tale with only one or two characters, you can certainly skip around and enjoy it just as much.Worth every penny to buy and every minute of viewing. I give it 10 stars!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ nothing like it, even by Attenborough *by W***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 24, 2012* Attenborough is one of the great videographers of all time, and I have never seen anything by him that I didn't like. What sets this series apart is its central focus on animal behavior. Even after all this time, the illustration of key concepts in the study of animal behavior is generally spot on. Some of the videos such as the killer whales attacking seals on an Argentine beach or the birds of paradise courting are among the first of their kind, and thus have a place in history in terms of documenting behavior that had not been filmed previously, or not been filmed well. I wish it was available in the US format; however, these DVDs can be read by certain players (I use VLC media player) on your PC without monkeying with your DVD player's region settings. And, if you have a Roku or equivalent, they can be streamed from your PC to your TV. Be aware that the resolution of video is NOT high-def. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After starting to watch Planet Earth, and seeing the ... *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 31, 2014* After starting to watch Planet Earth, and seeing the producers reminesce about Trials of Life, I had flashbacks to when I was a toddler, and Dad woud show me the episode on Hunting because it had those mesmerizing killer whales on film. As I remembered this, I set out to get a copy of the tapes. What shocks me after watching it 20 years later is realizing, as a kid, I had ignored some truly high-quality footage of other animals. While Planet Earth introduces new and unique footage of animal interactions and also brings to the table an increased perspective of the majestic habitats and ecosystems occupied by those animals, these original Trials tapes represent an encompassing and foundational library of organism-centered interactions on film including fungal parasites, plants, insects, birds, fish, crustaceans, and mammals. It is a choice collection. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/16958152-david-attenboroughs-the-trials-of-life-fighting-vhs](https://www.desertcart.us/products/16958152-david-attenboroughs-the-trials-of-life-fighting-vhs) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
