David's Double Feature: The Green Planet: Water Worlds + Attenborough's Wonder of Song
The Green Planet: Water Worlds: Plants live secret, unseen lives, but in their hidden world and on their timescale, they are as aggressive, competitive and dramatic as animals - they count, they hunt, they deceive, they communicate, they help their relatives and they manipulate animals for their own ends. Presented by Sir David Attenborough, this series employs the latest technologies to take a magical journey into the world of plants and in this epiosde specifically he explores the world of water plants.
Attenborough's Wonder of Song: Sir David Attenborough chooses his favourite recordings from the natural world that have revolutionised our understanding of song. Each one - from the song of the largest lemur to the song of the humpback whale to the song of the lyrebird - was recorded in his lifetime. The oldest, when he was just five. The most recent, only a few years ago. And one was made by him. "There are seven recordings of song that have particular interest for me," he says. "Some are lovely, some are surprising and one almost broke my heart. But all of them broke new ground."
