BBC's ambitious showcase - Planet Earth LIVE

BBC's Natural History Unit has embarked on an ambitious project showcasing the Earth’s most charismatic animals who will be followed day and night by award winning BBC Natural History Unit film makers, international wildlife specialists and BBC viewers around the world* - for an epic global animal soap opera Planet Earth Live where nature writes the script. 

 

The show, which started LIVE broadcasts in the UK, Poland, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey and the Nordic Region from May 6th, will be broadcast in India starting May 17th. 

 

Filming in six different time zones, across five diverse continents, in seven locations using spectacular cinematography, real-time filming techniques and up-close HD wildlife footage – the young animals’ struggle for survival during the critical month of May will air across BBC channels around the world.  The lives of the Earth’s youngest animals truly hang in the balance over the course of the series including baby elephants in Kenya, black bears in Minnesota, macaque monkeys in Sri Lanka, meerkats in South Africa, grey whales in the Pacific and lion cubs in the Masaai Mara.

Attached is the Press Release and some pictures of the same.
