The Amber Time Machine

S1 E6: Amber holds the secrets of the tropical rainforests of 25 million years ago. In the time of dinosaurs, some trees produced a noxious resin to protect themselves from voracious jaws, and this resin embalmed anything it touched in exquisite detail. Today, it and its contents endure in the form of amber. David Attenborough, (a life long collector of amber) embarks on a journey of discovery, examining and identifying the contents of this unique material - tracing the entombed animals and plants back to their origins. Detective work and specialised visual effects enable this film to unravel extraordinarily detailed stories about these ancient tropical plants and animals bringing them to life for the first time.
