Planet Earth 2 Iplayer

[Marketta Filipovich]

Filmedover the course of nearly five years, the new series uses pioneering filmmaking technology to reveal the greatest wonders of life on earth. Lightweight drones, high-speed cameras and remotely operated deep-sea submersibles transport viewers to spectacular unseen landscapes, from remote jungle to scorching deserts, and from the darkest caves to the depths of the ocean.

The first series of Planet Earth was about witnessing the wonderful spectacle and awe-inspiring beauty of our planet and taking the viewer to the last remaining areas of wilderness that were still untouched by humanity.

It was a privilege as always. David was able to bring the wisdom, enthusiasm, knowledge and, in places, the fun we needed for this series. At 97, he still possesses a unique ability to immediately captivate the viewer with his presence and his words. He was passionate about the stories we needed to tell and wanted to be part of the show from the outset.

This has always been something we have had to grapple with - to connect the viewer to the places and the animals we film in a way that cannot fail to create affinity and empathy, while at the same time exploring the harder truths in a way that does not make people want to turn away, or leave them feeling helpless. I think audiences now, more than ever, want to know the truth, they want to understand it, and they look to us for answers. We hold a great responsibility as filmmakers to create that spark of deep passion for our natural world, and to bear witness to the challenges that it now faces.

That we are pushing species, habitats and individual animals to the brink of their ability to survive and adapt, but the natural world has an extraordinary capacity to heal itself if we give it the chance. We need to make space, make sacrifices and use our remarkable human ingenuity and creativity to bring change for the benefit of these wild places and wild animals, and ourselves.

In episode seven there is an astonishing shot of a rhino walking through the streets of Sauraha, Nepal, simply to get to food on the other side of town. In Lake Tahoe, USA, black bears foraging for food in the city dumpsters are up to 50% heavier than their country-dwelling counterparts.

Our aim is to meet the Science Based Targets (SBTs) approved for the BBC in 2021, which commit us to cutting our GHG emissions to Net Zero following a clear pathway to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

Fans of Planet Earth III will also be able to listen to the Planet Earth Podcast (w/t), coming soon on BBC Sounds and BBC Radio 4, featuring surprising insights and fascinating stories from Sir David Attenborough about the three Planet Earth series, as well as his wider career.

Sorry for another UHD post. I have a PRO box with UHD enabled on it and a 4K TV. On the BBC iplayer i can see UHD programmes when I go through the TV directly. When I go through the PRO box I don't see the UHD programmes. I've looked and some of the answers on here but can't find a solution. Ant help would be much appreciated.

@macj180 I have a Pro box and when I go onto BBCI Player the UHD programme are listed in the player eg planet earth etc. If you go into setting on the BBC I player app you should have options for best picture and option for UHD preview , last I looked it was FA CUP final from a couple of years ago in UHD .

I get the same when using iPlayer on the Pro Box, the 'UHD' is missing from the top left corner of the programme tiles. However, if I use the search box and search for 'UHD' I do get some UHD programmes such as Planet Earth III, SAS: Rogue Heroes etc, and they play in UHD.

From my experience though, I always run the apps from my TV rather than the BT box because I find them more reliable, and this is another reason to use the TV app because programmes are tagged correctly.
