A TV Dante, produced by Britain’s Channel Four during the 1980s and aired in Britain in 1990, presents the first eight cantos of the Inferno.
Co-directed by Peter Greenaway and Tom Phillips. Phillips, a composer, artist and critic, is perhaps best known for his interest in the art of the page. His 1983 translation of the Inferno is used for the production. (The rest of the Inferno has been divided among directors Raul Ruiz, Terry Gilliam, Zbig Ribzynski and Nagisa Oshima)
The title of A TV Dante was clearly studied to put in play the high cultural register now evoked by the name ‘Dante’ and the low cultural register evoked by ‘TV.
Review
Cantos 1 - 8, co-directed by Tom Phillips and Peter Greenaway, was shown on television and later released on video in UK. Ruiz’s casting of his native Chile as the inferno visited by Dante and Virgil in Cantos 9 - 14 (uploaded here) was met with criticism and never broadcast or released on VHS in Europe. Ruiz’s series later found a life in Latin America where it was eventually shown on television where this version comes from. The remaining Cantos 15-34 were never made..

Sir Kenneth Clark was arguably the most influential figure in 20th-century British art. Born into a world of privilege, his achievements were staggering. He keeper of the King's Pictures, director of the National Gallery, founder of the Arts Council and independent television, and best remembered as the presenter of the most ambitious arts series ever made - Civilisation. A staunch defender of Reithian values, Clark was attacked for being an elitist 'posh man in tweeds'. But he held a passionate belief that art was for everyone and made it his mission, through television, to share his love of art with the masses.
To coincide with Tate Britain's exhibition on Clark opening in May, this Culture Show special presents an intimate portrait of a contradictory and elusive character who transformed our cultural landscape.

三年前，企鹅王nicktime离开了家。现在，他回到他出生的地方，并决定在南半球最稠密、最抢手的地方，要建设属于自己的企鹅王国。首先，他必须找到一个伴侣：他的王后。影片聚焦于这个王国的建立过程，故事看上去很可笑，但有时在残酷的竞争环境下甚至是悲剧性的，当然最终企鹅王成功了，爱登堡爵士的镜头下，地球上最伟大的荒野成年礼隆重举行了！

“我知道，3D在我的电影里将是一种毫无经验的尝试，令我方寸大乱”爱登堡爵士说，作为BBC灵魂人物、世界自然纪录片之父对这部3D纪录片的评价是谦虚的，实际上，影片的效果非常惊人，特别是本片中有一些非常戏剧性的动物，在3D特效下显得非常惊人。

Birds of paradise are one of David Attenborough's lifelong passions. He was the first to film many of their beautiful and often bizarre displays, and over his lifetime he has tracked them all over the jungles of New Guinea. In this very personal film, he uncovers the remarkable story of how these 'birds from paradise' have captivated explorers, naturalists, artists, film-makers and even royalty. He explores the myths surrounding their discovery 500 years ago, the latest extraordinary behaviour captured on camera and reveals the scientific truth behind their beauty: the evolution of their spectacular appearance has in fact been driven by sex.
And in a final contemporary twist to this story of obsession and royalty, he travels to the desert of Qatar, to a state-of-the-art facility which houses the largest breeding group of these birds in the world - a sheikh's very own private collection. There he has his closest ever encounter with a greater bird of paradise and its dramatic display, reliving the experience that captivated him in the forests of New Guinea more than 50 years ago.
'For me birds of paradise are the most romantic and glamorous birds in the world. And this is a film I have wanted to make for 40 years.' - Sir David Attenborough.

David Attenborough is in the Swiss Jura Mountains to discover the secrets of a giant. Beneath his feet lies a vast network of tunnels and chambers, home to a huge empire of ants. It is believed to be one of the largest animal societies in the world, where over a billion ants from rival colonies live in peace. Their harmonious existence breaks many of the rules for both ants and evolution, and raises some important questions. Through winter, spring and into summer, David turns detective to find the answers.

《气候变化的真相》由两部分节目组成，即《我们在改变地球吗》（Are we changing planet earth)和《我们可以挽救地球吗》（Can we save planet earth)，由BBC台柱、著名自然节目制片人大卫•艾登堡爵士主持，他要提出的问题是“未来的世界会是什么样子的？”
最近几年，一些极端的气候现象时有发生，例如卡特里娜飓风、2003年的欧洲热浪、寻找冰山的北极熊，巨大的昆虫群入侵一个非洲村庄。但是，这些现象是偶然的独立事件？还是更大的全球变化的先兆？
大卫•艾登堡爵士发现，世界正以前所未有的速度变暖，远超过气温正常循环波动的范围。这是人为造成的吗？无论我们知道与否，这些变化都在发生。然而，大卫•艾登堡爵士相信，我们可以行动起来，预防灾难。全世界的人都要改变生活方式，适应气候变化。北极的因纽特人的狩猎改变了，因为他们的家园已经消失在波浪下；西伯利亚的家园也逐渐陷入永久冻结带。大卫•艾登堡爵士探讨了未来可能出现的景象，包括海平面上升、昆虫瘟疫和疾病增加。

从喜玛拉雅山高耸的山脉、极地中被冰雪覆盖的荒地、撒哈拉沙漠到喀拉沙漠的沙地，这种自然环境与居住在那里的生物一样，都是令人感到惊讶的。
节目中，大卫·艾登堡禄会带我们探索针叶的树林、热带森林以及布满灰烬的火山侧面，从而接触各种不同种类而且复杂的生命体。在我们生活的地球当中，雪豹、皇企鹅，以及飞蛇等只是大自然内众多不可思议的生物中，其中几种生物而已。它们无论在惊涛骇浪中、山间的清溪、亚玛逊河流域附近的一片泥泞，冰冷的风雪世界，甚至人类兴建的城市中，也能处处显现出一片生机。
节目中的下半部分，大卫更会带领我们去观赏夜间出没的鹦鹉，会滑行的松鼠、以及人海中的独角兽。同时我们亦会见到一些需时几百万年才进化而成的地方怎样受到人类的污染及破坏，告诉我们为何要急切改变我们的生活方式。

The Mariana Trench is nearly 7 miles deep. The water pressure is immense, and it's a world that's long been out of our reach. What creatures could survive such hostile conditions? This is an expedition to explore the earth's deepest frontier.

广袤无垠的非洲大草原，数百万头角马的迁徙可谓生物史最令人叹为观止的壮观奇景之一。每一年的6月到9月期间，生活在肯尼亚马赛马拉国家公园的角马以及斑马、瞪羚组成的迁徙大军便浩浩荡荡地上路，从坦桑尼亚的塞伦盖蒂草原逶迤来至水草植被茂盛的肯尼亚的马赛马拉草原。虽然拥有数量上的绝对优势，但是沿途的残酷自然环境以及鳄鱼、狮子、鬣狗等肉食性掠食者将给这群逆来顺受的食草动物构成最大的生命威胁。
此次BBC摄制组调动大规模的拍摄阵容，试图近距离地记录下角马群迁徙过程中每一个珍贵瞬间。为了不惊扰这些胆小的动物，摄制组采用各种伪装术接近角马，比如将摄像机藏在遥控乌龟、鳄鱼、蜻蜓体内，或者放在沿途的石头、动物头骨中。功夫不负有心人，这些“间谍”记录下从前从未有过的罕见而惊人的珍贵画面……

A remarkable 200-million-year-old fossil - the bones of an ichthyosaur, a giant sea dragon - has been discovered on the Jurassic coast of Britain.

Using state-of-the-art imaging technology and CGI, the team reconstruct the skeleton and create the most detailed animation of an ichthyosaur ever made. Along the way, the team stumble into a 200-million-year-old murder mystery - and only painstaking forensic investigation can unravel the story of this extraordinary creature's fate.

去过伦敦自然历史博物馆的人肯定都知道里面的巨型恐龙的骨架。一个多世纪以来，它吸引了数百万的参观者来到博物馆，但是任何明星都会迎来他最终谢幕的一天，这副恐龙骨架也不例外。2015年初，自然历史博物馆的馆长对外宣布，这副占据了整个大厅的梁龙骨架就要退休了，取代它的将是一副蓝鲸的骨架... 两年过去了，大厅的新主人蓝鲸准备开门迎接来自世界各地的游客。

园丁鸟的魅力艺术（Bowerbirds: The Art Of Seduction）
这一次大卫来到了澳大利亚，他为我们介绍了几种最具代表性的园丁鸟和它们建造的亭巢。从最简单的“西式庭园”到较有规模的“五月柱”，还有最令人叹为观止的“棚顶式建筑”。园丁鸟一次次地向我们展现着它们非凡的建筑技巧和装饰灵感，不愧为鸟类中的“艺术大师”。
