Dr David Bellamy has written nearly 400 television programmes on botany and ecology and this 1978 series was his first. Bellamy became popular with viewers and impressionists alike, thanks to his endearing speech patterns and easy presentation of fascinating facts. He also demonstrated a welcome "hands on" attitude, by wading through swamps and swimming with water lillies. The title music of this series is haunting, while the graphics are eye-catching for the time.
