		05/14/2022 5:00 am	The Green Planet
	More kinds of plants are crammed together in the tropical rainforests than anywhere else on Earth. The result is astonishing beauty and intense competition, a plant battleground. New filming techniques make it possible to enter the plants' world and see it from their perspective and on their timescale. From fast-growing trees to flowers that mimic dead animals, this is a journey into a magical world.

	Water plants create some of the most beautiful, bizarre and important habitats on earth. To hold on in torrents, plants use a kind of superglue. Some are armed with vicious weapons to fight titanic battles for space. Others form perfect spheres and escape from animal enemies by rolling. Where nutrients are washed away, plants turn into hunters of animals, laying traps and even counting to ensure their success.

		05/14/2022 6:55 am	The Green Planet
	Between the tropics and the frozen poles lies a region dominated by relentless change in the form of the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each one presents plants with huge challenges, from ice and snow to raging fires, from intense competition to surprising enemies. This is a world of astonishing variety and vibrant colour. To survive here plants must use strategy, deception and remarkable feats of engineering. Most importantly, they must get their timing right.

		05/14/2022 7:55 am	The Green Planet
	Deserts are hostile: temperatures soar, and water is rare. Desert plants spend decades in suspended animation waiting for rain, or they travel to find it. They survive using weapons, camouflage, and surprising alliances with animals.

		05/14/2022 8:55 am	The Green Planet
	We rely on plants for almost everything, including the air we breathe and the food we eat. Two in five wild plants are threatened with extinction, but people are finding new ways to help them, from projects in Africa to reseed the landscape to the rebuilding of a tropical forest in Brazil, tree by tree.

		05/14/2022 9:55 am	Attenborough and the Sea Dragon
	On the Jurassic coast of Britain a remarkable 200-million-year-old fossil is discovered: the bones of an ichthyosaur, a giant sea dragon. David Attenborough joins the hunt to bring this ancient creature's story to life. Using state-of-the-art imaging technology and CGI, the team reconstruct the skeleton and create the most detailed animation of an ichthyosaur ever made.
