Zoo Quest in Colour

Overview

A treasure trove of color footage from the BBC's archives brings David Attenborough's groundbreaking series, Zoo Quest, back to life. Originally airing in 1954, the show captivated audiences and marked the beginning of Attenborough's illustrious career in wildlife presentation. It transformed perceptions by showcasing previously unseen wildlife and tribal cultures. Although initially believed to be filmed in black and white, this rediscovered color film offers a vibrant glimpse into Zoo Quest's adventures in West Africa, Guiana, and the quest for a dragon. Enhanced by behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Attenborough and cameraman Charles Lagus, this special is a visual delight.
