Attenborough and the Sea Dragon
A remarkable 200-million-year-old fossil, the bones of giant sea dragon the ichthyosaur, were discovered on the Jurassic coast of Britain. Natural history legend David Attenborough joins the hunt to bring this ancient dinosaur’s story to life. Using state-of-the-art imaging technology and CGI, the team reconstruct the skeleton and create the most detailed animation of an ichthyosaur ever made.
Life in the Undergrowth
Natural history legend Sir David Attenborough gets down and dirty to reveal the fascinating lives of the tiny invertebrates that live alongside us across the globe.

Gordon Buchanan: My Epic Camel Adventure
Gordon Buchanan takes an epic journey across the Gobi Desert on one of the world’s most iconic, yet least understood animals: the camel. Starting in Mongolia, he crosses blistering sand dunes, endless rocky plains and treacherous mountains. If he is to succeed, he must befriend the camels and try to win their trust and respect. Without that, the journey and his survival, are in question.
Attenborough and the Giant Egg
David Attenborough returns to the island of Madagascar on a very personal quest. In 1960, he visited the island to film the television series Zoo Quest. Whilst he was there, he acquired a giant egg belonging to an extinct bird known as an ‘elephant bird’; the largest that ever lived. Could the elephant bird’s fate provide lessons that may help protect Madagascar’s remaining wildlife?
Life in the Air
An astonishing number of animals have mastered the skies. From squirrels to spiders, frogs to fish, and birds to bats, these animals hunt, travel, sleep, live and die in the air. This world has always been a mystery, a place that humans could not enter or understand. But now, cutting-edge filming technology allows us to ‘fly’ alongside these animals and witness their extraordinary hidden world.
