About this collection
Celebrating David Attenborough's groundbreaking contributions to television and the study of natural history, this collection revisits his first great success - 'Zoo Quest'.
Attenborough pioneered techniques in programme making in environments that were often inhospitable. The 'Zoo Quest' series began as a joint venture with London Zoo and ended with millions of viewers seeing for themselves animals and locations that might otherwise have remained the stuff of myths and legends.
