Eyewitness is a nature and science television series based on the bestselling series of Eyewitness Books by Dorling Kindersley. It was produced by the BBC, DK Vision (the video production arm of Dorling Kindersley)[1] and Oregon Public Broadcasting.[2][3] Guy Michelmore composed the series' opening and ending themes, as well as the score for each individual episode of Season 1, with Guy Dagul writing the score for each individual episode of Seasons 2 and 3, respectively. Dagul's scores for season 3 also incorporated stock music tracks and cues by Dick DeBenedictis. The series aired from 1995 to 1998 (seasons 1–3) on PBS in the United States[4] and from 1995 to 1996 (seasons 1–2) on Disney Channel in the United Kingdom.
