The World About Us
The World About Us was a BBC Two television documentary series on natural history which ran from 1967 to 1987.[1] The show was created by David Attenborough.[1]
The French marine scientist and photographer Jacques Cousteau made a documentary for the series.[1]
The series marked the evolution of natural-history broadcasting "to the point at which constantly improving photographic techniques, allied to a seemingly inexhaustible supply of subject matter," make recurring series possible.[1]
The series is considered a precursor to Life on Earth (1979), a highly acclaimed BBC natural-history documentary series also presented by Attenborough.[1]
