Making Life on Earth: Attenborough’s Best Adventure

8pm, BBC One

“There was one series that changed everything.” In 1976, after turning down a job as a director (“I couldn’t have done better!”) David Attenborough embarked on a revolutionary journey into wildlife photography. Fifty years later, the team that made Life on Earth reunited – including the 100-year-old Attenborough – and it’s great to hear them reminisce about a three-year journey covering 40 countries and 600 species.

Secret Garden

6.15pm, BBC One

David Attenborough ends his journey in Matt’s natural garden in the foothills of the Scottish Highlands. The competition is a beautiful scene with a pinini marten that stumbles on a high winter hike, a lizard eager to fight with its baby for food, and owl chicks that, thanks to the cameras installed in Matt’s artificial bird box, we watch and fly for the first time.

An important addition to the autism spectrum, Nir Bergman’s drama focuses on divorced Aharon (Shai Avivi), who is the sole carer of his son Uri (Noam Imber). The eldest child now has to move to a special hostel, but his father cannot afford to lose his son and Uri is afraid that his father will abandon him. So they just run away.
