Quotes
[first lines]
David Attenborough - Narrator: Our planet's continents are fringed by shallow seas. Rarely more than 200 meters deep, they lie on the continental shelves, which may stretch sometimes for hundreds of miles before the sea floor drops into deeper, darker waters. Altogether, they constitute a mere 8% of the world's oceans, but they contain the vast majority of its marine life.

Not a good dish despite of great materials!

I've already finished 8 episodes of Planet Earth serie. And I know this is the best Documentaries TV show about Nature, I know the level this show could reach up to. And I did not say this episode disappointed me but it could be better.
This music in the episode is not the Best one of the serie, and I expected more, I want they tell a more detail story about the Great White Shark. Everything else in this episode is quite good and informative.
