New England — Earth's Greatest Spectacles
The north-eastern region of the United States, known as New England, is the stage for one of the most incredible colour changes on the planet when the vivid greens of summer give way to the golds and reds of autumn. This film reveals how this vibrant fiesta is created by the battles between the trees and the forests inhabitants. Moose, chipmunks, rattlesnakes and a bizarre mixture of caterpillars all play a crucial role; but surprisingly the forest itself was made to be so colourful, thanks to a combination of hard work by beavers, ants and humans. Narrated by Domhnall Gleeson

Svalbard — Earth's Greatest Spectacles
Svalbard in the Arctic spends many months of the year in complete darkness, an unrelenting frozen winter with temperatures down to minus 40C. As this documentary reveals, when the sun finally reappears the landscape magically transforms from an ice world into a rich tundra full of exotic plants, birds, arctic foxes, polar bears, walrus and reindeer. This transformation is only possible thanks to some bizarre micro-organisms that feed on ice and the stunning abilities of migrating birds. Narrated by Domhnall Gleeson

Okavango — Earth's Greatest Spectacles
Botswana's Okavango Delta is capable of supporting a wide variety of life, even though the lush wetland of islands and lagoons lies in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. As this film shows, each year a vast flood transforms the landscape and impacts on the lives of native species such as baboons, catfish, kingfishers, leopards, warthogs and elephants. More surprisingly, it also reveals how the flood creates this extraordinary delta in the first place thanks to the help of termites and hippos. Narrated by Domhnall Gleeson
