Sony BBC Earth has been showcasing stories of curiosity and adventure taking viewers to corners of the globe otherwise unexplored. The channel’s landmark natural history shows such as the Planet Earth series have always struck a chord with the viewers for their compelling storylines and magnificent representation. A huge credit goes to Sir David Attenborough, the legendary broadcaster and naturalist who gave the wild a voice.
Celebrating the birthday of the legend, Sony BBC Earth, the home of Sir David Attenborough, is showcasing a selection of his groundbreaking documentaries and series. Below are a few of his shows that you can add to your watchlist.
Frozen Planet I & II: The six-part series takes people on an expedition to the world’s coldest areas – the high mountains, frozen deserts, snowbound forests, and ice-cold oceans, to explore the wildlife in these regions. Filmed in the ultra-high definition using the very latest camera technology, and featuring dramatic new behaviours, intimate stories, and sensational natural spectacles captured on camera for the very first time, it gives viewers a chance to experience the wonders of our planet’s frozen realms.
Perfect Planet: The series reveals how perfectly our planet is set up to nurture life. It shows how sunlight, weather, ocean currents and volcanoes all work together in an intricate balancing act to shape and support the great diversity of life on Earth. The episode that focuses on volcanoes showcase how magma from the planet’s molten core builds land, and the mineral-rich ash from eruptions fertilises the surface.
Natural Curiosities: Sir David Attenborough presents a collection of his favorite natural curiosities found throughout the animal kingdom from armored giants to crafty insects where you can witness some new lives with adventurous mysteries in it. Each episode features two species connected by a distinctive evolutionary quirk.
Blue Planet 2: The series features a variety of revolutionary segments never seen in a video documentary. The species include cuttlefish that hypnotize crabs to stun them, giant trevally that leap out of the water to catch low flying birds, and newly discovered dancing yeti crabs.
The Green Planet: The show makes viewers dive into a world where a single life can last a thousand years. It takes them to the private, hidden existence of plants who are not as violent, competitive, and theatrical as animals, engaged in life-or-death contests for food and light, fierce territorial battles, and desperate attempts to reproduce and disperse their young.
Planet Earth II
The show is an immersive exploration of the jungles, mountains, deserts, islands, grasslands, and cities of the world. It takes viewers to the four corners of the globe to discover the extreme forces that shape life in each of these iconic landscapes and the remarkable ways animals manage to overcome the challenges of surviving in the wildest places on Earth.
