Dr. Angelou's sultry yet authoritative voice served as a narrative backdrop for an episode of the PBS series The Living Edens, produced by ABC/Kane and a Reader's Digest World Presentation. The episode, titled "Madagascar: A World Apart," travels to the piece of land that separated from Africa 125 million years ago and today seems to exist in the age of reptiles. The show was produced by Andrew Young and Susan Todd and is scheduled to air in November 1998. The series, The Living Edens, profiles isolated undisturbed corners of the globe. The series is scheduled to air on PBS through the year 2001 and recently was voted "Best Limited Series" for 1997 at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival.
