Attenborough and the Giant Egg

David Attenborough returns to the island of Madagascar on a very personal quest. In 1960 he visited the island to film one of his first ever wildlife series, `Zoo Quest'. Whilst he was there he acquired a giant egg - the egg of an extinct bird known as the `elephant bird' - the largest bird that ever lived. Fifty years on, he now returns to the island to find out more about this amazing creature.
