This documentary is burning a trail for television productions in its use of cameras that capture spectrums of light invisible to the human eye. For the 95-year-old broadcaster and natural historian, it’s a lifelong dream come true. This documentary has three 1 hour episodes, and in those three episodes, David Attenborough explores the vital role that colour plays in the daily life of various species. For us humans, it is a source of aesthetic beauty and expression, but for animals, it is an essential tool used for survival and without it, there would be catastrophic consequences. Colours help animals to win a mate, to fight off rivals and to warn enemies.
