The British Academy Award-winning series
A series of ten programmes Episode 1:The Story of Captain James Cook and his first great voyage of discovery to Australia in 1770.
Written by HAMMOND INNES
Introduced and narrated by David Attenborough from the Royal Geographical Society, London
Newly-commissioned Lieutenant Cook set sail from Deptford in a converted coal carrier called Endeavour. As far as the public was concerned he was on his way to the Pacific to make scientific observations for the Royal Society. But secretly he carried sealed orders from the British Admiralty. They urged him to search for a Southern Continent that was thought to exist and claim it for Britain at once. What he found was the East Coast of Australia where he promptly planted the British flag. But news of the discovery nearly failed to reach Britain. Endeavour ripped into the Great Barrier Reef and for 23 desperate hours the course of history tilted in the balance.
The BBC's most exciting documentary venture for years. (SUNDAY MIRROR) This is my idea of television. (DAILY EXPRESS) Fabulous, fascinating, minutely researched. (EVENING STANDARD) Take note that the story of Captain James Cook is indeed something special. (SUNDAY TIMES)

Few explorers today set off without cameras. When they get back, television shows the films they took as they climbed Everest or lived with Indians in the Amazon forest. What would we have seen if a cameraman had marched with Pizarro into the totally unknown civilisation of the Inca empire or travelled with Stanley for the first time down the Congo?
The creators of Explorers have tried to produce an answer. Their programmes are more like documentaries than feature films. The characters in them don't make long speeches. Columbus does not give his orders in English - or even American - but in the language he actually spoke, Spanish, and the Indians he meets don't mumble their replies in broken English. The story of the film is told, instead, as in a documentary, partly by a narration, but mostly by action.
So the films give a vivid and as far as possible meticulously accurate impression of what it must have been like to sail in Captain Cook's tiny jam-packed ship, to wade with Mary Kingsley through the swamps of West Africa, to wander with Doughty through the Arabian desert. You Were There was the title of a television series some years back. It would have well suited this one
