The Water Walkers. In the miniature world at the surface of Britain's ponds and streams, the laws of physics take on new dimensions. Here water bends, and surface tension is a fearful force. For most small creatures, the water surface is a fatal trap. But a few - pond-skaters, swamp spiders, whirligigs and water boatmen - have mastered its peculiar problems. For them, this fragile interface is home. Narrated by David Attenborough.
