WRITTEN AND PRESENTED BY DAVID ATTENBOROUGH ATTENBOROUGH IN PARADISE. A BLANK ON THE MAP. THE LOST GODS OF EASTER ISLAND. BOWERBIRDS: THE ART OF SEDUCTION. THE SONG OF THE EARTH. LIFE ON AIR. THE AMBER TIME MACHINE The one-off specials featured here represent some of David Attenborough's most personal quests and passionate enthusiasms. Attenborough in Paradise represents a childhood dream come true as he visits the forests of New Guinea to record the spectacular courtship displays of the birds of paradise. A piece of amber given to him 60 years ago by a young refugee girl sparked a lifelong interest explored in The Amber Time Machine while The Lost Gods of Easter Island finds him tracing the history of a strange human figurine he bought at auction. Also included is a special programme on the incredible 'artist' birds in Bowerbirds: The Art of Seduction; an investigation into the music of the wild in The Song of the Earth; an expedition to find a lost tribe in the mountains of central New Guinea in A Blank on the Map; and Life on Air, a fascinating celebration of Sir David Attenborough's 50 years with the BBC.
