Two years ago Horizon asked some Natural History film makers to make a film and then, in the intervening years, filmed how they did it.
How, for example, do you get cameras inside birds' nests that are in dark holes in trees, or into the bottom of an insect-eating pitcher plant to film the plant's eye-view of its dinner? How do you arrange for a pike to catch a stickleback successfully in full view of the camera and lights?
It's probably the most detailed film ever made of the life of the stickleback, even down to the way he sees the world through a haze of tiny animals that lodge in the lens of his eye.

A Personal History of the United States in 13 parts written and narrated by Alistair Cooke
Two kinds of colonists went out from 17th-century England. Merchant adventurers founded plantations in Virginia and the south, and experimented with 'democratical' government and new crops like tobacco. Religious dissidents, the Pilgrims and Puritans, landed up in New England and, under the leadership of Governor John Winthrop, hoped to lead more independent and godly lives through their congregational establishment. Both communities came to settle and trade, and by the mid-18th century a thin strip of British colonies extended the length of the eastern seaboard.
The man who most typified the optimism and 'morning innocence' of that America was from Philadelphia in the middle colonies: the printer, writer, inventor, diplomat, and statesman, Benjamin Franklin.
