Hi guys I seen a part of this at my freinds place and I was amazed, is there a way to download the whole thing to my computer or order it on dvd ? This was a great show.
Fabulous. I am very much looking forward to seeing the entire programme next Sunday night.

Amazing! I love your show.Watch it every week.This video is beautifully done!
I would love to use this in my high school biology classroom. Are there any supplement materials avaiable to use with it? Or has PBS developed any lesson plans that use this as a resource? I thoroughly enjoyed this show last Sunday. Thanks for airing it again.
Unfortunately, no lesson plans were created for this episode. We appreciate your interest in using NATURE in the classroom!
I watch of lot of the Nature shows and this one is by far my favorite one I never get tired of watching it it’s beautifully done it show’s how God thought of everyone down to the smallest of creatures
A wonder of God is the fig,
Although it’s not very big.
In the vast web of life,
With all of its strife,
It performs it’s marvelous gig!
This is one of, if not the best Nature documentary I’ve seen.
Evolution has given us such a grand and wonderful world!
I’ve seen many nature shows in my life, and this one is certainly among the most beautiful. The cinematography and storytelling was outstanding. As close as I’ve ever come to crying for an insect.
