Life on Earth: 12: Life in the Trees

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

by David Attenborough
A series of 13 programmes.

Long ago a group of mammals sought their fortune in the tree-tops. There they developed binocular vision for accurately judging distances and grasping hands for taking a firm grip. They became the primates - a group which includes dazzling gymnasts, deafening choristers and highly-cultured monkeys.
The story takes David Attenborough to Madagascar, where lemurs leap through the air with grace and precision, to Japan where monkeys have learned to take tepid baths in winter, and to Central Africa to sit with gorillas!
