Trying to Locate 'WILD SCANDINAVIA' TV Series [English Narration]

[Dave]

Do you all remember watching the magnificent 'Wild Russia' Series?

Now available to watch on You Tube:

Well, there was also another series entitled 'Wild Scandinavia' Which I don't think was ever shown on British TV?
There is a clip on youtube with an English narration [below].

Does anyone know if the entire 'Wild Scandinavia' series was released with an English Narration? And if so, where I can buy it? Cheers.

Wild Scandinavia

Director: Jan Haft
Synopsis: The six part series “Wild Scandinavia” presents the untamed nature in Northern Europe in breath-taking pictures: Rugged fjords,erupting volcanoes, cliffy coasts and primeval forests. Far from human settlements the film crews managed to capture impressive scenes of polar bears, musk oxen, brown bears, arctic foxes or elks. Long time filming periods, complex HD–camera techniques and highly stabilised aerials made unique recordings possible. “Norway” is formed by majestic glaciers - the seemingly endless countryside and the monumental Fjords are unique in Europe. This landscape forms the arena for the grimly fights of the musk oxen, dancing grebes, hunting lynxes and white tailed eagles. Award winning Filmmaker Jan Haft gives a highly emotional insight into Norway and its picturesque Nature.

:welcome1: Stunning isnt it? [Would like to know who is doing the narrating on the link I posted, as he is miles better than the other narrators of Wild Russia on YouTube]

Just wish I could lay my paws on the Scandinavia version.

Seems like it could be this one

 

[Dave]

Nice Find.
Yes, there is a clip from Natgeo wild, and some of the film looks like its from the same source as the 6 part Wild Scandanavia series above....

Goody.

I just bought the original german version. Seems it was made for the german broadcaster ARD. It's called Wildes Skandinavien.
Nordic Wild does seem to be a totally different series...

 

[Dave]

Its probably the same footage Ron, just re-edited for the english audience.

You should watch em both, and let us know....

 

[Dave]

Really been enjoying the Nat Geo Wild programme. Hope you enjoyed the German Version RonW

 

[addo]

Nordic wild on Nat geo wild has been really good.
I like the little stories they make up on each sps. The footage is excellent and the programmes packed.

 

[gsfgaz]

That looks like a great series, has anybody got them in English ...

 

[RonW]

Hi Dave,
I really did enjoy it, yes. I was pleasantly surprised by the high level of filming.
It's not BBC, but it starts to get close.

 

[susi]

Looks like an interesting series

But..

Finland is not in Scandinavia

and

"temperatures below -40°C are not uncommon".... well hmm..... yes they do occur, and more so in the north and east......but "common" ???? nope...... they're just trying to sound dramatic to entertain the viewers........

 

[Dave]

Its on Youtube now. All 4 epsiodes.
