Australia – a continent of natural wonders. This four-part series takes you off to the kingdom of the kangaroo and red rocks with breathtaking aerial footage, riveting super slow motion and extraordinary animal stories. Yet Australia has much more to offer than its red heart: impenetrable jungle in the farthest north-east, bizarre native creatures like the cassowary and tree-kangaroo. In the east lives Australia’s teddy bear, the koala. For the first time, footage from the highest tops of the eucalyptus forest shows how radical and brutal these cuddly koalas really are! In the heat of South Australia, many marsupials have adapted to life underground: quirky wombats build giant tunnel systems, and whenever an enemy approaches they block the entrance with their hefty hindquarters. Down Under is quite unique! The red continent has never been seen as vividly as in this high-quality nature documentary series.

Traveler Ian Wright sets off on a journey of contrasts, taking in Malacca, Penang, and the wilds of Borneo. Steeped in history and home to ancient tribes, flamboyant temples, manic street markets, and superb cuisine, Ian discovers the rich and colorful diversity of cosmopolitan Malaysia.

Experts agree there are some very basic - and universal - rules for surviving in the wild. Find shelter, find water, find food, find help. Beyond that, there's not much they agree on. Meet military-trained Dave Canterbury and naturalist Cody Lundin - trained survival experts featured in this series. Together, Canterbury and Lundin take on some of the planet's most unforgiving terrain to demonstrate - in their own way - how the right skills and some creative thinking can keep you alive.
