Sir David Attenborough returns in another landmark television series on Channel 9, exploring the way colour is intimately connected to almost every story nature has to tell.
Colour makes our world a beautiful place to live in, but there is so much more to it than beauty.
As Sir David, the world’s most famous wildlife film maker, will illustrate, colour is the amazing way animals communicate and collaborate – it’s even their language of life and death.
Australian filming locations for the series include Adelaide River, Darwin (NT); multiple locations around Sydney and Coffs Harbour (NSW); Lizard Island, Heron Island, Stradbroke Island, Kuranda, Cairns, Port Douglas, Crater Lakes and Atherton Tablelands (QLD).
The key creative team includes Colette Beaudry (Can We Save The Reef?), Sharmila Choudhury (Attenborough’s Natural Curiosities), Stephen Dunleavy (Tasmania: Weird and Wonderful), Adam Geiger (Can We Save The Reef? Sharks of the Shadowland), Nick Green (Seven Worlds, One Planet) and Sally Thomson (Attenborough and the Sea Dragon). Adam Geiger directed the Australian sequences, and Carolyn Johnson is the series’ Australian producer.
