Secret Garden - BBC

The latest BBC David Attenborough documentary and another where, like Wild Isles and Wild London, his attention is on what we can find nearby. This time the attention is even closer to home - it is on our back gardens. As always, the patience and skill of the production team, combined with his narration, brings out stories which amaze even the nature-loving owners of the chosen gardens, and give further proof that, if it's wildlife you're looking for, you rarely need to go far. As David Attenborough says in the introduction, 'Welcome to a hidden world, right on our doorsteps.'
