Link to Lost worlds vanished lives: 4-The rare glimpses documentary
Documentary Description
Lost Worlds Vanished Lives is a four-part BBC documentary series
concerning the discovery of fossils. It is written and presented by
David Attenborough, produced by Mike Salisbury, and was originally
broadcast in April 1989. It was made in between the second and third
instalments of Attenborough's "Life" series: The Living Planet and The
Trials of Life, respectively. The study of
rocks and their ancient secrets was something of a boyhood passion for
David Attenborough. In these programmes, his enthusiasm for the subject
is undiminished. With the help of expert palaeontologists, fossil
hunters and (for the time) modern animation techniques, Attenborough
attempts to show how life evolved in Earth's distant past. To do so, he
travels the globe to visit the world's most famous fossil sites.
