Shark: British Isles Special with Steve Backshall
The naturalist encounters sharks in Scotland, Wales and Cornwall
Naturalist Steve Backshall goes in search of some of the 30-plus shark species that inhabit the British Isles, showing how the big fish in home waters are just as astonishing and mysterious as their global cousins. Along the way he encounters a four-ton basking shark in the Scottish Hebrides and dives with his favourite of all time, the blue shark, off the coast of Cornwall.

Micro Monsters with David Attenborough
S01E03
Courtship in the bug world
A further selection of creepy-crawly close-ups, focusing on courtship in the bug world. Highlights include scorpions shaking their booty, the perfume-wearing nasonia wasp and the tropical cricket, for whom romance goes out of the window as it uses bribery to seal the deal with would-be partners. One potential partner to steer well clear of, however, is the praying mantis, the female of which is notorious for eating the male just after – or even during – mating. Narrated by David Attenborough

Micro Monsters with David Attenborough
S01E04
The mating habits of various bugs
A close-up view of sex, bug-style, as David Attenborough talks viewers through the different ways in which creepy-crawlies reproduce. Size matters for the minuscule male orb spider, creepily sneaking up on its intended and trying to mate without her noticing, while there’s no rest for the lothario-like butterfly, which has plenty of notches on its proverbial bedpost. However, the harvestman spider has no use for sex at all, and reproduces by cloning itself

The world of dragonflies and damselflies

My Garden of a Thousand Bees
Martin Dohrn, the film-maker who spent the pandemic filming bees in his garden
The work of Bristol wildlife film-maker Martin Dohrn, who during the Covid-19 pandemic set out to record all the bees he could find in his tiny urban garden. Filming more than 60 different species, from Britain’s largest bumblebees to scissor bees, the size of a mosquito, Dohrn observes how differences in behaviour set different species apart – and eventually he gets so close he can identify individuals just by looking at them
