The one-off specials represent some of Sir David Attenborough’s most personal quests and passionate enthusiasm. Attenborough in Paradise represents a childhood dream come true as he visits the forests of New Guinea to record the spectacular 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 Machine while The Lost Gods of Easter Islands finds him tracing the history of a strange human figurine he bought at auction.
