I watched the first week of BBC Earth (Ch 248, on Shaw) and ordered it right away. It's simply amazing.
The 'Making Of' indeed a documentary about a documentary. My wife got me both PE and PEII as the box dvd sets, and they have the makings of's on them, as well. The Making Of's are nearly as fascinating as the show itself. Top notch stuff, to be sure.
I've occasionally said that BBC Earth seems to be what Discovery channel wished it could be, back when it was a Science and Discovery channel.
BBCE does have a couple fishing shows on it (and one is a 'contest-style', but I'm willing to forgive them it so far.
