Linda and others who asked -- I heard Mr. (Dr.? Sir?)
Attenborough himself interviewed on National Public Radio
about this series. He said that his team built rails along
the projected path of the plants' growth and then mounted
a camera on wheels on the rails. From there a computer
took over and moved the camera forward a foot per fortnight
or whatever. Naturally sometimes the plants didn't
cooperate and went off in different directions, but that's
Show Biz for you.
I haven't seen it myself yet and I'm looking forward to it.
