I almost feel silly providing this update, but (newsflash!) the super committee looks unlikely to reach a major agreement by its deadline next week.
The Discovery Channel has co-produced with the BBC a new David Attenborough-hosted 7-part nature series on the earth’s polar regions called Frozen Planet. It’s already begun airing on BBC. It’s set to air on the Discovery Channel in the near future.

We have a call into Discovery on this. We’ll let you know what we find out.
