Lost Worlds Vanished Lives - David Attenborough
Accompanied by both professional palaeontologists and amateur enthusiasts, David Attenborough returns to the quarries where he hunted for fossils as a boy, and visits fossil-rich sites all over the world. He looks at the problems associated with reconstructing an animal from a fossil, and explains the huge role now played by animations, computer graphics and articulated models. Dramatic dinosaur finds shed light not only on how these incredible creatures looked, but how they fed, hunted, courted, bred, called to each other and cared for their young. The biggest dinosaur question, of course, remains unanswered - David Attenborough asks why, after dominating the planet for over 160 million years, the dinosaurs became extinct? From landscapes covered in shards of dinosaur egg shell, to sites where animals and plants have been fossilised to give a detailed picture of the whole environment, David Attenborough travels the world opening windows onto worlds and lives that would otherwise be lost for good.

Wild Africa
Africa is the mother continent - the core from which all the other continents were torn away 270 million years ago. Since then, three factors have had profound consequences on its wildlife. This mighty block of land has stayed in much the same place, it stands alone and it straddles the equator. It's also been protected from crippling ice ages and destructive invasions as well as nurtured by gentle changes in climate and geology. As a result, animals and plants have flourished here more successfully than on any other continent. This is Africa - rich, diverse and fascinating - and the heart of the world. Time is the key to our series. Influenced by climate and geology, time has allowed Africa to accumulate the breathtaking variety of wildlife we see today. The series covers Jungle, Coasts, Mountains, Deserts, Savannahs and Rivers & Lakes as the topic of each episode. More
