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?

But now, cutting-edge filming technology allows us to ‘fly’ alongside these animals and witness their extraordinary hidden world.
