Natural history programmes that look at an unusual aspect of nature in the raw.
Wild Designs. Humans consider themselves to be the great inventors, but many of our greatest technological achievements have their origins in the natural world. People frequently sit back to admire their ingenuity, only to find that mother nature holds the patent. Tonight's film shows that nature often has the upper hand over humans when it comes to problem solving. "Everything we've learnt to date has barely scratched the surface of discovery," says producer/presenter Simon King. ● STEREO
