|  | | | | "Nature is full of surprises, so the programme can investigate fascinating and challenging areas in our relations with the natural world without being too technical or preachy. My job is brilliant because, as a link between the listener and the subject, I can discover new information and ideas which help people make up their own minds on important issues."

The Animal Image
In the BBC's forthcoming landmark TV series "Planet Earth", some of the most astonishing wildlife images ever captured on film will hit your television screens in what will probably be the highest profile natural history series.... Ever!
Coincidentally, the first ever wildlife cave paintings to be discovered in Britain, at Creswell Crags in Nottinghamshire, have recently been dated by a team of Bristol scientists at 12,800 BC.
Paul Evans explores the story of the animal image, with the help of archaeologist, Paul Pettitt; wildlife artist, Alan Hunt; photographer, Michael Leach; and producer of many of David Attenborough's greatest wildlife television series, Mike Salisbury.
Paul explores what the wildlife image has meant to people over almost 13 millennia, and how much the cave painters of the last ice age have in common with the film-makers of the 21st century. | | |
