Eve Graham The Mountains Welcome Me Home Eve Graham made her showbiz debut in 1964 singing with the Cyril Stapleton Band. She then worked with Ross Mitchell in a group called The Track, and then as a founding member of The Nocturnes, where she later met Lyn Paul. Graham ended up as the lead vocalist for The New Seekers, the hit follow-up band to Australian folk-rock outfit The Seekers. On The Mountains Welcome Me Home, Graham worked with David MacKay, who produced many of The New Seekers’ hits including “I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing”(the Coca Cola commercial song Graham sang that was voted the #1 TV Commercial Song worldwide). The song went on to be a #1 hit and an anthem around the world. Coca Cola even invited Graham to participate in a remake of the commercial for its 20th anniversary! The DVD is filmed in Graham’s home country, Scotland, at scenic and historic locations in the Western Highlands and the islands.

Along 120,000 miles of Asia’s shoreline, land and sea struggle against each other in a rivalry that creates one of Asia’s greatest resources. This film explores the huge variety of the coasts by focusing on two themes: their wealth, in sheer volume and diversity, and their wide range of influence, which stretches far beyond the thin line on the map that marks the shoreline. Asia is the most diverse region on Earth, home to a remarkable collection of iconic animals. Elusive snow leopards hunt in the Himalayas, orangutans dwell deep within humid rainforests, and wild horses graze the stony Gobi Desert. The Wild Asia series reveals the incredible range of Asia’s environments and wildlife. Originally shown on Discovery HD.

For much of the year, the African Savannah bakes under the oppressive equatorial sun. The dryness is unusual for the equator, whose regions are often covered with dense rainforests and associated with a seasonless annual cycle. In equatorial Africa, animals are still evolving and adapting to the challenge of change. In Tsavo, where it is hotter than other places on the savannah, male lions have lost their usual symbol of dominance, their mane, to keep as cool as possible. And in Gabon, forest animals such as elephants feed on mangrove seeds washed up on the beach, and hippos swim in the surf.
