The Explorers (1975)

About

Here's a real rarities for you Attenborough's fan, 8 of the 10 episode of The Explorers series from 1975! To quote a redditor who said it better than I could, this was the most expensive production of the BBC’s entire history at that time, with absolutely magnificent cinematography, realistic re-enactments, fantastic narration and very valuable storytelling, yet, it is (until just now) all gone. Up until now, only a single episode of this series was ever available online, and this is only because it was posted to the channel of the late David Cobham, who directed that episode.

I was lucky enough to be contacted by someone who offered to send me 8 episode out 10 to add to my ever growing Sir David Attenborough's collection, which was a big surprise as I was never able to find much about this series beside the first episode I mentioned before. So, while those are obviously not my own transfers, I highly doubt we will get any other recordings of this rare series anytime soon. That is unless the BBC finally decide to show them on iPlayer.
