Martha Holmes filming elephants in Kenya
Extraordinary Animals, Extreme Behaviour

For almost two decades programme-maker and mother of two Martha Holmes has been bringing the natural world to the comfort of our living rooms. She has helped capture on film some of nature's rarest and most exceptional animals from polar bears to Chilean stag beetles. Her latest TV series is no less ambitious. Life: Extraordinary Animal, Extreme Behaviour tells the stories of over 130 extraordinary animals and takes a closer look at some of the extreme behaviours key to their survival. Spectacularly shot using the latest techniques and technology, these are the stories of the everyday heroes and heroines of the animal kingdom. Martha joins Jane to talk filming, family and Humpback whales

Life: Extraordinary Animals, Extreme Behaviour narrated by David Attenborough starts on 12 Oct on BBC 1

Life: Extraordinary Animals, Extreme Behaviour by Martha Holmes and Michael Gunton is published by BBC Books, ISBN 978-1-846-07642-8
