Anybody watched the repeat showing on BBC1 past sunday evening ?
It was my third viewing and it remains as beautiful as it was my first ...

^I didn't watch it on tv, since I haven't got one

But I've watched it about 4 or 5 times in total now, and it keeps enchanting me over and over

I haven't rewatched it on telly because I wasn't at home, but I've got it on DVD, and it keeps on amazing me.

Who else thinks Joanna seeing the actua lights was the most touching moment ever?

Philippa · by **Philippa** on 06 Apr 2009, 18:57

When she cried, I cried. That sort of covers the touching moment in my case

Well , don't worry I had a tear in my eye as well ... and I'm a guy ! lol
I'm one of those sensitive types I guess ...

Btw , did anybody here saw the broadcast on Canvas some time ago ?
They took out Joanna's commentary voice and replaced it with a Dutch one !!
Needless to say , all of the magic was lost !!
How dare they take Joanna's wonderful voice out !!
It was bloody awful ...

Philippa · by **Philippa** on 06 Apr 2009, 20:02

Are you serious?
How very dare they!! The bloody bastards!!
I can imagine all the magic was lost.
There isn't a more perfect voice than Joanna's, so I don't understand why they would replace it!

WHAT?! Why on earth would they do that? It's not as if people who watch those documentaries are too stupid to read subtitles..

Eric · by **Eric** on 06 Apr 2009, 20:16

I'm very serious Philippa & Maartje ...
Why couldn't they just stuck some subs on there , that would've been the more sensible thing to do . They ruined the whole feel of the documentary like that .
I recorded it on DVD-RW but it was just too awful to watch again so I deleted it ...

The download links in the media section still work, if you'd like to have the original BBC broadcast.

Watched this last week. Joanna's grace and wonder continue to amaze me. Who could hold back tears as she watched the lights? Not me...

Philippa · by **Philippa** on 24 Jun 2009, 01:05

Not me either. I cried with her, it was just so beautiful :heart:

Mara · by **Mara** on 19 Sep 2009, 11:21

Sweeties darlings, the DVD has got extras! There are three deleted scenes on it, and a feature called 'filming the Nothern Lights'!

I'm going to watch them all know, and let you know what I think. I shall do my best to rip the DVD for you guys.

Philippa · by **Philippa** on 19 Sep 2009, 12:00

Oh wow that's amazing news!! I need to buy this DVD asap!! :squee:

Mara · by **Mara** on 19 Sep 2009, 12:36

Yes, you must! I'm watching the deleted scens now, and there are really great. :squee:

There's this alternative intro, filming Joanna at home (?), and one scene of her visiting a Norwegian school. (which hasn't been shown at all) They also filmed in a vault, where all agricultural crops are kept, if something disastrous should ever happen to the earth. Kinda creepy really, I didn't know these kind of things really exist...

I feel in love with this. I watched it in total silence and it was just soo moving to watch. I actually felt like I was there. My mum said she is going to get it for me for christmas. Thank's Joanna. Lol. :happy:

Philippa · by **Philippa** on 24 Nov 2009, 20:15

Ooh lucky you darling! I want my mummy to buy me it for Christmas as well :lol:

I have it, you can watch it when you come over on Friday. But I'd planned on watching a bit of AbFab and TNA (and maybe some F&S) as well, so I think you should stay all week. :lol:

I would if I could :lol:

Oh btw, have you finished watching Life on Mars yet? Because if you have, I could bring my Ashes DVDs :grin:

Haha. I hope you enjoy watching them. :happy:

Thanks, haha!

No sorry sweetie, I haven't... The only television shows I'm watching at the moment is House and a little bit of Top Gear on Sunday. :no:
