Madagascar is an island of extremes. One side is "wetter than an otter's pocket" and the other "dryer than a camel's hoover bag." Such diversity in landscape and wildlife not only makes for a fascinating film, but was also the motivation for our narrator, esteemed natural historian Armstrong Wedgewood, to set up an "eco-resort" on the island in 1999. The trials and tribulations of the wildlife on Madagascar are mirrored in Armstrong's experience of his (now failed) eco-tourism venture.
