Episode 1 • Oct 10, 1973
The Strange Caves of Borneo
David Attenborough explores a mysterious labyrinth containing caverns large enough to hold St. Paul's Cathedral. It is home to millions of bats and swiftlets, where men risk their lives to collect ingredients for bird's nest soup.
Episode 2 • Oct 17, 1973
Fire Giants of Sumatra
David Attenborough explores the site of the world's largest recorded explosion, where men labour in harsh conditions to collect sulfur. The presence of rare butterflies, orangutans, and insect-eating plants show it to be far from lifeless.
Episode 3 • Oct 24, 1973
Mudbuilders of Borneo
On Borneo's shores, mangrove swamps creep toward the sea. Mudskippers and fiddler crabs thrive on open mud. Storks, lizards and king crabs flourish further inland. Snakes, ants, and proboscis monkeys prosper in the semi-submerged forest.
Episode 4 • Oct 31, 1973
Green Ceilings of Borneo
David Attenborough explores a vast jungle canopy, where new plant species continue to be discovered. The animal life is equally astounding, with all kinds of flying creatures, including an enormous colony of flying foxes in a swamp forest.
Episode 5 • Nov 07, 1973
Borneo's Cathedral of Trees
In the hot and humid Borneo jungle, David Attenborough encounters moon rats, pangolins, tarsiers, leaf-weaving ants, a bizarre burrowing lizard and the world's largest flower. He also meets the pale-skinned blowpipe-making Punan tribe.
Episode 6 • Nov 14, 1973
Life and Death in Paradise
The Toraja people, natives of the South Sulawesi mountains, construct boat-shaped houses and cultivate fields with buffalo. Their elaborate funeral ceremonies involve year-long vigilance, and burial sites that are carved into high cliffs.
