Oh what a weekend lies ahead.
There will be English voices aplenty and lots of action, colour and of course uncertainty.
We can anticipate some truly memorable moments where we will sit, aghast, and wonder whatever is going to happen next on that wide open landscape.
There will be much sound.
The sound of excitement and the sound of impact ... and all before a large audience of course.
Yes, the new series of Sir David Attenborough's Planet Earth II is debuting on Prime on Sunday evening.
There's a footy match on too this weekend, but that's on Saturday on Sky Sport 1, although Prime will run a delayed version an hour after the 7.30pm kick-off.
As a slightly superstitious soul I do not wish to pass judgment on what the outcome of the third test between the All Blacks and the Lions at Eden Park will be, except to say sport will be the winner (groan).
Both sides will be primed for this, and my only hope is that all those in the black shirts and the red shirts shut up and listen to, and accept, whatever it is the referee tells them.
There are a few boneheads out there who appear to embrace the notion that every decision should be loudly argued and gesticulated against.
The only loud argument I can deliver, along with a flick of the hand, is "just get on with it".
I reckon David Attenborough would have made a superb rugby referee.
For he would not only ensure a scrum was put down properly he would spend seven minutes leading up to the "crouch, touch, set" moment explaining the evolution of the scrum and the way if differs from country to country.
If a winger were to sprint for a try, eluding his opponent with a graceful swerve, David would award the try then call the pair together to explain the amount of muscular stress inflicted on their limbs as they changed direction - "much in the way a cougar would when startled by nearby prey".
And, given David's relaxing yet informative voice, they'll just stand mutely and take it all in.
The man is a television classic who refuses to call time on his remarkable career in natural history broadcasting.
All he has done is eased off the more physical approaches, which is not something we are likely to see on Eden Park.
Documentaries like this are a valuable staple of the unwritten television rule of the "three Es".
Education, enlightenment and entertainment.
For while the information David delivers is startling enough, the imagery is simply stunning.
He has said it himself ... his work would not hit the mark without the fine crew he has assembled behind him off camera.
Sounds a bit like Kieran Read and Sam Warburton.
This is the follow-up to the original Planet Earth which screened to great acclaim in 2006 and varies in that more of the "action" is filmed on the ground rather than from the air.
It took three years to make.
Expect surprises and the occasional jaw-dropping scene ... and of course the discovery of an animal you had never come across before.
I was watching David's journey to Madagascar on Monday evening and came upon a creature I had never seen or heard of before ... and I've been about for six decades.
Mind you, David's been around for nine so he's got the edge.
Wonder who'll have the edge at Eden Park.
No, don't wanna go there. Don't want to put the mockers on it.
Let it run its course ... hopefully with 15 blokes on both sides this time.
● Planet Earth II, Prime at 7.30pm Sunday: This will most certainly tick the three 'E' boxes big time.
● All Blacks v Lions, Sky Sport 1 at 7.30pm Saturday (Prime at 8.30pm) Mmmm, what would be the odds on a draw?
ON THE BOX
● Highway Patrol, TV2 at 8pm Thursday: Here we have a patrol encountering a bike rider who refuses to wear his helmet.
Mmm, there's a few regular non-wearers pedalling around these parts who could well do with being asked what this individual was also likely asked.
But we all know what happens. They'll put it on and 100m round the corner they'll take it off again.
And try issuing a fine ... they won't pay it.
My advice? Don't give them an infringement notice, do some taking instead.
Take the bike.
● Top Gear, Prime at 8.40pm Sunday: Put simply, the first "new" series of Top Gear with Chris Evans at the wheel failed to get out of second gear.
So, here we go again with round two and Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid are the presenting team.
So yep, as they would say in a crucial rugby test when a 57m penalty to grab a win is about to be taken during a cross-wind ... "best of luck".
● 60 Minutes, Prime at 9.45pm Sunday: As a child I believed in life on Mars and now, far from childhood (allegedly) it seems I may have been spot on.
This hour-long current affairs show becomes an interplanetary affairs show and examines how the Mars rover Curiosity may have encountered evidence that there was once life on that planet.
So as they'll be saying in downtown Auckland in a week's time after the Lions Red Army has done its duty ... "where has it all gone?"
