Wildlife photographer Valter Torri has always been fascinated by the unique atmosphere of Africa. In this film, colours are bright, the sounds of nature ring out - you can almost smell the dusty heat. Every frame is dramatic - the fiery sky, the flowing river and the elegant wildlife. But for Valter, this beauty is always tinged with longing - how to reconcile the modern world in which he lives with the timeless majesty of nature.

We think we know big cats pretty well, but actually, we don’t. In this series, we take a look at the extraordinary prehistory of big cats and their ascent to world domination. How did these giant carnivores survive the ice age? Why did their territories change – with the jaguar once found in the UK, and the lion once a true worldwide phenomenon? Brand-new night vision systems and super slow-mo cameras take us on a tantalising trail of evidence to answer these questions.

Sharon Pincott, from Queensland, Australia, ditches her sports car, friends and material possessions to pursue a dangerous life in Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe – as a self-appointed caretaker of the ‘presidential herd’ of elephants. Sharon has formed one of the most remarkable relationships between humans and wild elephants ever documented, and now you can share the experience with her!
At sunset, the mysterious world of the night unfolds. The air is filled with the sound of courting frogs loudly croaking, whilst nearby a hungry heron hunts for its next meal. Daytime animals get ready for their night’s rest, as a hedgehog awakes and crosses the garden. Just then, a female fox emerges from her lair. Let the chase begin!

This series studies animals ageing in the wild. Passionate researchers bring us right into the lives of the animals they study, but this isn’t just another beautiful animal documentary. It is also an invitation to consider the challenges of growing old in the wild. Our discoveries reveal that the process of ageing varies as much as the species themselves. It is impossible not to see this without reflecting on our own experiences along the way.

Alaska, a land of brooding mountains, great rivers, forests and desolate tundra. This film explores how plants and animals have evolved to cope with the harsh and unrelenting climate. How does life survive in a place where temperatures can plunge to minus 60°C, deep snow carpets the frozen ground, and rivers lie sealed under a mantle of thick ice?
