Attenborough's Life That Glows

Luminous beings, creatures with their own internal light, enchant and astonish us. The sea at night sparkles, as millions of luminous plankton reveal the shapes of dolphins, fish and whales in a truly spectacular and magical light show. But why do animals produce living light? For centuries we could only marvel at the beauty and the mystery. Join Sir David Attenborough and a team of the world's leading scientists and deep-sea explorers on a breathtaking journey to reveal the secrets of living lights. Witness creatures that very few have ever encountered in their glowing state, including bioluminescent millipedes glowing on the forest floor of California's high mountains, the mesmerising flashing light patterns of the synchronous fireflies in the dark woods of Pennsylvania, and luminous earth worms in France, to name a few.
