- Twin zoologists lose their wives in a car accident and become obsessed with decomposing animals.
- A Survival 'special' about the Nile Crocodile that showed, for the first time, the wildebeest hunting abilities of the enormous crocodiles of the Grumeti river in Serengeti, Tanzania. This contrasts with the extraordinary level of maternal care shown by the crocodile mothers to their hatchlings, including protecting their eggs from monitor lizards and baboons. The documentary received the highest audience viewing figures for a wildlife film at the time - 12.25 million. It was released in the US under the title: Crocodile: Here be Dragons. It was awarded 'Best of Festival' at the inaugural Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival in 1991.
- It captures some of the most extraordinary scenes ever seen on film of these predators hunting and killing. This award-winning programme, filmed at Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa and Kenya's Masai Mara, features the "big five" super predators: lion, hyena, wild dog, leopard and cheetah. The film includes a place for a man to work in closer partnership with nature for our mutual benefit and survival.

- In Africa there is a fable that explains the creation of the tides. When a hyaena challenged a mudskipper to a drinking contest to decide who should own the shore, the god Mungu tilted the earth so the sea flowed inland, and neither could win. In this way he created the tides - so that all the animals could visit to feed, but none might stay very long. The film follows the fortunes of a cast of animals that use the shore, over a cycle of the tides. It is set on the remote storm beaches and in the mangrove forests of northern Kenya. As the tide falls, a hyaena feeds on a shark and tussles with a porcupine, a caracal hunts monkeys and an octopus strands itself to catch crabs. Crabs are the currency, and from giant monitor lizards, predatory grouper, crab plovers and jumping fish - everybody eats them. As the tide comes in, giant whale sharks enter the mangroves to feed, moray eels fight with octopus, and predatory snappers and squid hunt in the drowned forest. The fable explains that in return for their place on the shore, crabs must pay a price - and in the climax, a storm wrecks millions of swimming crabs. They are a sacrifice to Mungu. and a feast for all the other animals.
- Survival expert Ray Mears tracks three masterly predators, each in the natural environment they dominate, or at least did until man changed the rules. In Idaho, it's a pack of wolves. In Namibia, a family of leopards. In British Columbia, grizzly -, brown and white 'spirit' bears.
- A documentary that compares the struggle for survival between two very different creatures heavily influenced by man; the California Condor and the Coyote.
- An award-winning documentary about the underwater habitats and marine life of Cornwall's Fal Estuary. It was the first time that cuttlefish mating and egg laying had been filmed in British waters. It was Victoria Stone and Mark Deeble's first film and was instrumental in preventing a container port being built in the Fal Estuary. It was the first British underwater wildlife film to treat the underwater world the same as topside when it came to cinematography and sequence building and was the start of the husband and wife team's 20 year association with Survival Anglia.
- Lake Tanganyika is an 'Ocean' in Africa. Millions of years ago it was colonized by a little fish called 'Cichlid'. Otters, crocodiles, cobras and cormorants all hunt the fish in clear water. How the Cichlid survived and evolved is an incredible story for, millions of years later, there are over 200 new species - all found only in Lake Tanganyika. Incredibly, they have evolved to look like coral reef fish. There are cichlid equivalents of tuna, snapper, gobies and goatfish. They have evolved bizarre methods of breeding with mouth-incubation, lekking and, unique amongst fish, there is even a cuckoo. Despite all their specialization over millions of years, if an opportunity presents itself, the little fish can behave like their unspecialized ancestor. In the climax of the film, they bang together to feast on a hatch of sardine fry. This is the story of how one little fish has conquered a lake.
- Gorillas are observed in the rainforests of the Central African Republic, where ecotourism may be thwarted by the primates' hostile behavior towards tourists despite efforts to acclimate them to humans.
- Intrepid avian creatures attain new heights in NATURE's Extraordinary Birds.
- Long before the age of the dinosaurs a race of fearsome reptiles ruled the land. All but a few perished in the greatest extinction of all time. The earth still bears the mark of their deadly dynasty.
