Why in Database: A thirteen-episode nature series narrated by David Attenborough. The turtle elements only appear in two episodes, but mostly in episode seven, “Victors of the Dry Land” where there is a really big chunk about the largest of the tortoises. Besides that, in the last episode, the thirteenth, “The Compulsive Communicators” there are two or three short pieces about turtles – first something turtle-like is visible when aboriginal drawings are shown, then a short scene with a tramping turtle, and finally when the printing press and the newspaper composition process are briefly shown, it can be seen that an element of the shown page will be a photo with turtles.
