Was die Presse sagte

“…beautiful to behold … That the photography on BBC nature programmes is as routinely extraordinary as it was last night’s is another paradox, but a happy one.”
Andrew Billen, The Times

“Yellowstone … left us at the edge of our seats, simply stunned by film footage so magnificent…”
Gavin Docherty, Daily Express

“The film was amazingly shot, with vast panoramas followed by intimate close-ups … Yellowstone the place is a freak of nature. Yellowstone the programme is a work of art, confident of its material, and of how to present it.”
David Horspool, Daily Telegraph

“…spectacular HD photography…”
Daily Mail

“Another thrilling wildlife series from the BBC’s Natural History Unit.”
Gerard O’Donovan, Sunday Telegraph

“…in the future we’ll be able to point with pride towards nature programmes like Yellowstone, a lovely, lyrical portrait of the American national park in winter…” Scotsman

“This colourful wildlife series more than lives up to the Beeb’s long-established reputation for excellence in the field, offering intimate close up of the animals for whom the park is home.”
Daily Post (North Wales)

“It was the bison that I felt most sorry for, their huge nodding heads acting as snowploughs that beat as they swept through the snow to get to the grass, even though each blade had the nutritional content of cardboard. Once the snow got too deep they would trudge to the thermal springs, only to find the grass there so full of silicone that it rotted their teeth, and so toxic with arsenic that it slowly poisoned them.”
Andrew Billen, The Times

“…it contained the most extraordinary footage of wildlife behaviour either of us has ever seen. A fox, walking delicately along a snowfield six-feet deep, cocked his head left, then right, then left again, ears twitching and twisting like an airport’s radar tower. Suddenly he stiffened, coiled backwards, and leapt skywards in a prodigious bound. He swivelled and pointed his body directly downwards, plunging nosefirst into the drift like a gannet dropping on a salmon. He vanished completely into the snow and then re-appeared, a struggling mouse pinned in his jaws. Try to catch the repeat programme tomorrow. You’ll
be as astounded as we were.”
Richard and July, Daily Express

“I like the fox … The otters are the best though … While all the other furry things are simply surviving, huddled together against the cold wind or trudging for miles in search of some miserable morsel of food, the otters are having a game of otter twister or hide the trout. And then, when they travel in a line, one in front of the other, leaping in ottery loops out of the snow, they turn into a little Loch Ness Monster … There’s a nice little film about the people of Yellowstone tagged on to the end, and this one focuses on a man called Jeff … I like Jeff - not quite as much as the otters, but nearly.”
Sam Wollaston, Guardian

“Fabulous scenery, magnificient animals, excellent commentary; I can’t think of any other superlatives to describe this series.”

“It was wondrous, truly stunning. I’ll never get to go to Yellowstone in the winter but I feel like I was taken there this evening thank you to all involved.”

“The photography was amazing. A truly wonderful programme.”

“I thought that the programme was excellent. It was a real joy to watch.”
