David Attenborough brings to life, in unprecedented detail, the last days of the dinosaurs. Palaeontologist Robert DePalma has made an incredible discovery in a prehistoric graveyard: fossilised creatures, astonishingly well preserved, that could help change our understanding of the last days of the dinosaurs. Evidence from his site records the day when an asteroid bigger than Mount Everest devastated our planet and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Based on brand new evidence, witness the catastrophic events of that day play out minute by minute.

Sir David Attenborough chooses his favourite recordings from the natural world that have revolutionised our understanding of song. Each one - from the song of the largest lemur to the song of the humpback whale to the song of the lyrebird - was recorded in his lifetime. When Sir David was born, the science of song had already been transformed by Charles Darwin’s theory of sexual selection: singing is dangerous as it reveals the singer’s location to predators, but it also offers the male a huge reward, the chance to attract a female and pass on genes to the next generation. Hence males sing and females don't.

In a characteristically cinematic documentary series shot on both land and sea, Sir David Attenborough narrates the struggles and successes of a wide variety of animals as they take on one of life's most vital challenges: finding a partner. From termites to humpback whales, each creature's particular quirks and rituals are explored with joyful fascination as they navigate the dramatic - and sometimes dangerous - path of love, ensuring the survival of their species by relying on their animal instincts. With the production team having recorded over 4000 hours of fights, rebuffed advances and incredible displays aimed to impress, the veteran natural historian once again shows the animal kingdom as it has never quite been seen before.
