The Serpent's Secrets Narrated by David Attenborough
A silent, private world - fascinating as any fiction - where adders dance, grass snakes lay eggs in centrally-heated compost and pencil-sized creatures wrestle tadpoles in garden ponds!
In this intriguing study, the camera observes intimate mating rituals and witnesses a remarkable event - an adder birth. The programme follows a hunt underground and joins a strange
'gathering' in the viper's den. Photography OWEN NEWMAN Written and produced by JOHN DOWNER (R)
