New CBeebies series brings to life Sir David Attenborough's adventures

Equipment & Resources
A new interactive series of animated stories narrated by Sir David Attenborough has launched on the CBeebies Storytime app.

The series of five stories, Attenborough’s Adventures, is inspired by the wildlife documentary maker's real-life adventures filming on location for the BBC.

Aimed at children up to the age of six, it follows Sir David at various stages of his life, from his early days filming Zoo Quest in the 1950s, up to his debut in virtual reality for 2016’s Attenborough and the Giant Dinosaur.

The first interactive story is David and the Gorilla Quest, which sees a young David Attenborough and his camera crew exploring the jungle in search of giant apes. The story re-tells his famous expedition in 1978, when he encountered mountain gorillas at Dian Fossey’s research site in Rwanda as part of the BBC Natural History series, Life on Earth.
