Satoyama: Japan's Secret Garden

For at least 2,000 years, a unique way of life has flourished around the shores of Japan's largest freshwater lake - Lake Biwa - fed by more than 500 rivers that descend from the rugged, forested interior of Honshu Island. To exploit the abundant mountain water, generations of farmers have transformed the foothills surrounding the lake into a maze of ingeniously engineered terraced fields. The balance between humans and nature is reflected in the Japanese name for the cultivated areas: satoyama.

2000年来，日本最大的淡水湖-琵琶湖，依靠本州岛内森林深处崎岖的500多条河流，以其独特的方式蓬勃发展。
利用丰富的山区水，几代农民通过改变湖周围的山峦，形成一个如迷宫般巧妙的梯田。
这一巧妙地平衡了人与自然之间关系的耕种地区，被称为：里山。

Satoyama: Japan's Secret Watergarden《里山: 日本神秘水花园》

The BBC has decided to acquire NHK's Satoyama series of documentaries. It will acquire Satoyama: Japan's Secret Garden (1999) and Satoyama: Japan's Secret Watergarden (2004) and combine them into one program for broadcast, narrated by Sir David Attenborough.

The Satoyama series, which has just won the Grand Prix at the 28th International Wildlife Film Festival 2005, is produced by NHK and distributed by MICO. It poetically portrays the close relationship between people and nature in traditional rural environments in Japan. The first program, which focuses on the agricultural cycle of rice paddies on hillsides in Japan, has been distributed to over 80 countries worldwide. The second program takes a look at a traditional water-supply system called a "kabata", which not only provides water to village households but also nurtures a vast diversity of fish, insects, birds, and other creatures. Both programs offer insights into environmentally sustainable living.

Shin Murata, the originator and Executive Producer of the two programs, commented: "I'm delighted that Satoyama will be airing in the BBC's 'Natural World' strand. The BBC's endorsement of Satoyama is particularly gratifying because one of my biggest inspirations for the programs was a BBC production titled 'Restless Year' which followed the seasons in one of England's rural areas".

Neil Nightingale, Head of the BBC's Natural History Unit, commented: "We decided to acquire Satoyam because it is a unique and beautiful portrait of rural Japan and the relationship between people and nature. It reveals an aspect of Japan that I am sure will be completely new to British viewers, and does it in a wonderfully lyrical style which I am sure will be popular with our 'Natural World' audience."

Sensitive Scorpion《敏感蝎子》

David Attenborough narrates a documentary about the Scorpions. They have one of the oldest body designs on the planet and have seen the entire race of dinosaurs evolve and become extinct. They can withstand drowning, starvation, extreme temperatures and even lethal nuclear radiation. Despite this tough exterior, the real reason for their success stems from an array of sensory equipment that enables them to perceive the world in a way that we can only imagine. For the first time, this film journeys into the sensory world of the scorpion.

片名译为《灵敏战蝎》

大卫·艾登堡爵士解说的一部关于蝎子的纪录片。蝎子拥有我们这个星球是最古老的身体方面的设计，它们见证了恐龙的演化和灭绝，它们能克服水淹、饥饿、极端温度以及致命的核辐射。但除去这些，真正让它们成功的却是那一系列敏锐的感官设计，它们能以一种我们只能想像的方式来感知这个世界。第一次，让我们跟随影片进入蝎子敏锐的感官世界吧。

Shark Coast

David Attenborough travels along the coast of Southern Africa which has an incredible variety of sharks, over 140 species, from massive great whites and tiger sharks to dozens of tiny sharks with intriguing names like the pyjama shark and leopard cat shark. The answer to why these seas are so rich in predators lies in the unique pattern of warm and cold currents allowing sharks that normally live oceans apart to coexist.

大卫艾登堡将在非洲南部沿海展开旅行，那里有超过140种各种令人难以置信的鲨鱼。
从庞大的大白鲨、虎鲨到几十种拥有奇怪名字的鲨鱼：睡衣鲨、豹猫鲨。
这片海域能够拥有如此多品种的鲨鱼的原因在于这里独特的冷暖气流，这使得他们能在这片海域和平共存

They inspect ancient ruins in Syria, learn to waterski in The Lebanon and spend time a Nairn Bus workshop in Iraq. They demo the landrovers to the Iranian Army, travel through Pakistan to India where they visit the Taj Mahal and the tea plantations of Darjeeling. Onto previously inaccessible Nepal and through fairly incessible Burma. There they are escorted by soldiers whose jeep they have to repair. Then through Malaya and onto the Singapore causeway where a welcoming committee awaits.

The Private Life of Plants《植物私生活》

分集介绍
【旅程】 Travelling
David Attenborough's incredible journey into the world of plants. By using advanced timelapse photography, the plants are shown as complex and highly active organisms - growing, fighting, competing, breeding and struggling to survive. This programme demonstrates the techniques plants employ to travel from place to place to find new homes.

【成长】 Growing
David Attenborough presnts time-lapse photography that reveals how new leaves fight for a place in the sun, and examines the ingenious methods that plants use to defend themselves from animal attack.

【开花】 Flowering
Flowers are the most eye-catching feature of plants, but they are there for only one thing - sex. In order to procreate, a male seed from one flower must be carried to the female parts of another. Flashy colours and lurid perfumes entice a host of animal couriers to collect their rewards.

【挣扎】 The Social Struggle
David Attenborough looks at the extraordinary battles for survival that are fought in the plant world. Cameras reveal how plants use every trick in the book in a bid to come out on top, from growing at different rates to courting and even capitalising on disaster, whether it be hurricanes, fires or being eaten by animals.

【共存】 Living Together
David Attenborough looks at the battle for survival in the plant world. Plants often rely on animals, fungi and each other for food, protection or a home - and they are not always grateful partners. Remarkable time-lapse photography reveals them strangling, stabbing and sucking their victims dry.

【求存】 Surviving
David Attenborough reaches the climax of his journey into the world of plants. The final programme looks at the amazing variety of ingenious techniques plants have invented to survive even the coldest Arctic wastes and the driest, hottest deserts. Time-lapse sequences reveal giant water lilies rampaging across the Amazon, mangroves that care for their babies, and plants that survive only by devouring animals.

The Tribal Eye《部落之眼》

This DVD release features David AttenborougH's original 1975 Tribal Art: The Complete Series and includes all seven programmes commissioned for the BBC. Through the series, Attenborough gives viewers a fascinating guide to the world's tribal art traveling to intriguing places and tribal communities.

Attenborough's love of tribal art grew out of his early programme-making days at the BBC and took him to all corners of the world. From his first trips he accumulated souvenirs and eventually became a serious collector of tribal art. This series was commissioned shortly after he resigned from his job as Director of Programmes. He believed there was room on television for totem poles and masks as well as old master paintings. The resulting lavish series examined sculpture, weaving, metal casting and other artistic activities in tribal societies around the world.

分集介绍
Behind The Mask
Studies the Dogon people of Mali, their sculpture and ritual ceremonies.

Crooked Beak Of Heaven
Presents potlatch a colorful event staged by Northwestern American Indians.

Sweat Of the Sun
Few of the beautiful golden artifacts of the Aztecs and Incas are left today. Most of them were melted down by the pillaging Spanish conquistadors. But some exquisite pre-Columbian art still exists, and narrator David Attenborough describes how these were used by priests in practical and ritual fashion, including human sacrifice.

Kingdom Of Bronze
At the turn of the century Europeans refused to believe that the craftsmen of the Nigerian Kingdom of Benin could have made such sophisticated and beautiful bronze castings. This program traces the history of Beni and Yoruba bronzes, and examines the techniques used in making them, and the results. We see the beautiful and elegant portrait busts, plaques and standing figures which read as impressive chronicles of the elaborate court life under the autocratic Obas of Benin.

Woven Gardens
n a wonderful combination of beauty, function and tradition, the rugs of the Gashqai Nomads of Iran perfectly mirror their lives. Wool is gathered from sheep, goats and camels. Dyes are made from juices of plants along their caravan routes. Then the jogging of the pack animals, bearing the looms with unfinished rugs, gives the weave its beautiful irregularity. And they are used against the cold, the wind, and as saddle bags and grain sacks.

Man Blong Custom
This program takes us on a perilous journey to the jungle-covered mountains of the New Hebrides to witness the sacred ceremonies performed in the village cult house. Life size effigies, the heads of which are human skulls fleshed out with clay, dance as cavorting puppets in funeral ceremonies. Then we journey to the neighboring Solomon Islands and examine their magnificent war canoes, their sea spirit dances, and an anthropological phenomenon, Moro. This island mystic arose to say that the gods of the island wished the people to send the foreign Christians back home and once again worship the ancients.

Across The Frontiers
Attenborough summarizes his exploration of tribal ways as seen through tribal arts. He notes the loss of custom and tradition with the inroads of western civilization and a new awakening of ancient tribal culture among many people today from the Tribal Eye Series.
