S0E1 - Kingdom of Plants
3D technology reveals a whole new dimension in the lives of plants, from the most bizarre to the most beautiful. In this sensational series, shot over the course of a year, David Attenborough explores their fascinating world. Using 3D time-lapse and pioneering techniques in 3D macro photography, he traces them from their beginnings on land to their vital place in nature today, exposing new revelations along the way. He moves from our time scale to theirs, revealing the true nature of plants as creatures that are every bit as dynamic and aggressive as animals. David discovers a microscopic world that’s invisible to the naked eye, where insects feed and breed, where flowers fluoresce and where plants communicate with each other and with animals using scent and sound. He meets the extraordinary animals and fungi that have unbreakable ties with the plant world, from hawk moths and bats to tiny poison dart frogs, a giant tortoise and a fungus that can control the mind. And he does all this in one unique place, a microcosm of the whole plant world where, some 90% of all known plant species are represented: The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. This spectacular adventure through the Kingdom of Plants is so immersive and compelling it has the capacity to amaze even the least green-fingered.

S0E2 - Predator Fails
There is no greater predatory testing ground than the African Savannah. Its greatest hunters: Lion, crocodile, leopard, hyena, and cheetah hunt day in and day out, using their killer machinery to turn epic hunts into successful kills. We score each predator on what it has to be successful: Size & Strength, Speed, Strategy, Teamwork, and Weapons give them a total out of 50. The crocodile has an 80% success rate on our predator scoreboard - but does this score on paper reflect its actual success on game day? The twist is that when it counts, these numbers get thrown out the window: Out in the wild anything can happen, even their killer machinery can’t always guarantee success... This is a numbers game, and before these expert killers can get a meal they must fail first... A lioness gets flicked into the air by a buffalo; crocodiles are kicked in the head by stampeding wildebeest; a cheetah clean misses its target; hyenas fall at the hands of lions; and the wily leopard only just escapes...

S0E2 - Magical Land of Oz
Magical Land of Oz offers a blue chip, continent wide series ranging from the land’s highest snow peaks to the depths of the frigid and wild southern seas; from its last populations of wild numbats to its largest diorama of giant cuttlefish. It’s a land of diverse beauty, that delights and surprises. The series both entertains and deepens our understanding of how the natural world is made up of not just unique species, but distinct individuals, whose lives are far from predictable. Using the latest camera technology we capture animal populations only recently discovered and behaviours not associated with species we thought we knew well. We meet animal characters so enigmatic, most Australians are unaware they share not just their island continent - but their own suburban backyards. We reveal the challenges these animals must navigate in a land of extremes, and extreme human-induced change. To do this, we fill the screen with colour, dance, acrobatics, music, mating and murder - all performed by the animals which make Australia a truly magical land.
