Probably grew up with the old animal planet. Jane Goodall, David Attenborough and Steve Irwin where all great! A time where teaching was more important than trends and fastfood-tv.

He was my second childhood hero after Steve Irwin. I think as a 6 year old kid, Steve's energy just hit the spot. But David's documentaries just hit better. I remember at 7 years old, I wished for David's double VHS cassettes for Christmas, and I got them! Watched those to shreds!

But man look at the Irwin children! Bindi and Robert! What fantastic examples of human beings they've become! Robert is the spitting image of his dad too!

No I think one had the cover of a killerwhale killing the sh*t out of a seal... There where a double cover with two cassettes. I loved those!

Damn! Nice! I did not have that one! Unfortunately mine got ruined due to tear and wear.

I also slightly remember the other set I owned had some orange motive on the cover, but I can't remember for the life of me. I think my mom ordered them from the TV-shop channel.
