Tom Hiddleston narrates this awe-inspiring nature documentary about gigantic creatures. Your breath will be taken away by the likes of blue whales and terrifying cobras
hree years ago the natural history team at Apple TV+ recruited Paul Rudd to narrate Tiny World, following some of the tiniest little marvels scurrying, swimming and flying in their unbelievably tiny, clever ways about the earth. The creatures were also some of the most unavoidably cute – pygmy marmosets, Cuban bee hummingbirds, harvest mice! Come to me!and follows some of the largest creatures the Apple team could find.
Each episode concentrates on one particular creature for its main narrative and introduces us to neighbouring characters as we go. In an opening episode, a grey whale and her calf make a 5,000-mile journey from Mexico into the herring-filled waters of the Arctic so she can feed after months of starvation. We also meet an absolute humdinger of a cephalopod, a pod of orcas and even, briefly, a blue whale, the biggest of them all.
In later episodes, we watch bull elephant seals battle and batter each other for supremacy on the beaches, a family of giant river otters and a giant anteater who has an impressively imperturbable air for a creature required to run a proboscis along the ground, snuffling up small morsels of protein for large daily portions.
Speaking of bad things, please be warned that the tiger episode also contains footage of king cobras. They are about 20ft long and venomous. If you see one, you will surely die of fear long before they spread their hoods and bite. I’d go and watch the pygmy marmosets for a bit if you survive that episode. You will have earned it.
Apple’s team doesn’t have David Attenborough, the BBC’s gravitas or command of detail. But it does a fine job of making you gaze in renewed awe at the treasures of the world. No small thing.
