The Cave of Swallows in Mexico is a 400 metre vertical shaft. Its deep enough to engulf the Empire State Building yet few people even know its existence.
Lechuguilla cave, in the USA, is 193 kilometres long and 500 metres deep. It contains whole chambers filled with the most astonishing crystals including some a staggering six metres long. There's nothing like it anywhere on earth yet the name Lechuguilla is virtually unheard of.
Caves are Planet Earth's final frontier and this programme will go where few have been before.
Caves are one of the only habitats not directly driven by sunlight but this doesn't mean there's no wildlife.
Cave angel fish are perhaps the most adapted creatures on earth since they live only on cave waterfalls - hanging on with microscopic hooks on their flattened fins. Until now they have never been filmed before.
Deer Cave in Borneo is a daytime retreat for five million bats and their droppings support an entire community of creatures. Shine a light on one massive pile of droppings and the whole place shimmers with millions of dung-eating insects.

Gaining unique access to a hidden world including poisonous caves and flooded caves, full of stalactites, stalagmites, snotites, and troglodytes, few natural history programmes could boast such a wealth of surprises.
