The series was produced for the BBC by Neil Nightingale and executive-produced for ABC by Dione Gilmour. The music was composed by Adrian Johnston and performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra. The series was narrated by Australian actor Matt Day.

The series forms part of the Natural History Unit’s Continents strand. It was preceded by Wild New World in 2002 and followed by Europe: A Natural History in 2005.

The items that are not released yet, or not out on DVD / Blu-ray are indeed unavailable, and that is what we would tell our customers if the requests ever come in.

The price of the items would only cover the operational / raw material / shipping costs; and would be sold for personal use only.
