The one-off specials featured here represent some of David Attenborough's most personal quest 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 in The Amber Time Machine, while The Lost Gods of Easter Island finds him tracing the history of a strange figurine he bought at auction.

Also included is a special program 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 , a fascinating celebration of Sir David Attenborough's 50 years with the BBC.
