As a boy, David Attenborough had a piece of amber in which lay a blood-sucking fly. He still has it today. Would it be possible to extract the DNA from one of these insects caught in the resin and, maybe, recreate a dinosaur? Series of talks by Sir David Attenborough on the natural histories of creatures and plants from around the world. Producer: Julian Hector First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in October 2009
