Each episode was accompanied by a 10-minute behind the scenes mini episode chronicling some of the extraordinary lengths the film crews took in the making of the series. These were entitled Planet Earth Diaries in the UK and Capturing the Shot in the US. The BBC version of the show had David Attenborough narrating while the Discovery Channel version had Sigourney Weaver narrating and was edited for some limited commercial interruption.
