	Movies - The Trials of Life

The Trials of Life is a BBC (in conjunction with The Australian Broadcasting Service and Turner Broadcasting System Inc.) natural history television series of twelve episodes, about animal behaviour, written and presented by David Attenborough, originally transmitted in October 1990.

The series took over three and a half years to make, during which time Attenborough travelled almost a quarter of a million miles.

The individual episodes are:

# "Arriving" # "Growing Up" # "Finding Food" # "Hunting and Escaping" # "Finding the Way" # "Homemaking" # "Living Together" # "Fighting" # "Friends and Rivals" # "Talking to Strangers" # "Courting" # "Continuing the Line"

Each episode was just under 50 minutes long, recorded in 4:3 aspect ratio with stereo sound.

There was an accompanying book, and the series is available as a four-disc DVD set (erroneously entitled Trials of Life) with an extra, 50-minute feature: "The Making of The Trials of Life". It is also included in The Life Collection
box set.

Part of David Attenborough's 'Life' series, it was preceded by The Living Planet
(1984) and followed by Life in the Freezer
(1993).
