This programme is part of a 成人论坛 Four Collection showcasing the early work of Sir David Attenborough.

David Attenborough first developed the idea of filming animals in the wild when he met Jack Lester, a curator at London Zoo. Expeditions to collect creatures were a common way for zoos to acquire exhibits at that time, so they proposed an animal gathering excursion that Attenborough could record on film. For the first two series of 'Zoo Quest', the animals were collected by Jack Lester. When Lester fell ill, Attenborough found himself responsible for the job instead, something with which he was not entirely comfortable.
