Planet Earth II is here – and it looks incredible!

Ten years since the release of the original documentary series, Planet Earth is back on our screens tonight, and its imagery, design and camerawork are sure to inspire artists and creatives everywhere. The new six-part series sees legendary broadcaster and naturalist David Attenborough team up with the BBC once again for Planet Earth II. And if these breathtaking images from the show are anything to go by, it looks epic. 

The new series, once again, brings magnificent scenes of nature in to viewer's front rooms. Featuring everything from the rare snow leopard and nimble serval cat, to the penguins of Zavodovski and marine iguanas of the Galapagos, Planet Earth II was filmed over three years across the globe. Using all the very latest technology, including hidden cameras in remote locations, the series uncovers stories about the nature that have never been seen before. Here's to the next six weeks of the natural world in all its glory.
