[QUOTE="JTweedie, post: 3317604, member: 8075"] We can obviously start new threads when it's right, but here's a summary of some new stuff coming up. It's been a strong year for the BBC's Natural History Unit and it looks like they've got lots of good programmes coming up. Well worth looking at the [URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2015/david-attenborough-commissions?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_press_office&ns_source=twitter&ns_linkname=corporate"]press release[/URL] at it has a video with little glimpses some of the new programmes. [B]Inspiring Attenborough: Sir David At 90[/B] In this one-hour special, produced by the Natural History Unit, broadcaster Kirsty Young will talk to David about his career, the inspiring people he has met, the extraordinary journeys he has made, and the incredible animal encounters he has had across the globe. [B]Light On Earth[/B] The spectacular and magical light produced by glow worms, fire flies and luminous plankton is what most of us know as bioluminescence - light made by living things. But those familiar glows and flashes are just a tiny, easily observed fragment of a previously unexplored, mysterious realm. Sir David Attenborough will be our guide as we venture into a world he describes as "utterly unlike our own". [B]The Great Race[/B] The Great Race follows three iconic animals – caribou, zebra and elephants - on three of the world’s most breathtaking wildlife adventures. Each must overcome immense obstacles, from challenging terrain to hungry predators and sheer physical exhaustion. What drives these animals to risk everything in the race of their lives? [B]Koko[/B] This is the extraordinary personal story of the most famous gorilla in the word, who was adopted in the 1970s by Stanford University graduate Penny Patterson. In a unique experiment, Penny taught Koko how to ‘talk’ to humans with sign language, in the hope that they might finally cross the boundary between animals and humans. [B]Mountains[/B] With one programme each on the Rocky Mountains, the Andes and Himalaya, this series will use drones to reveal these mountains as never before. The audience will be taken from hidden valleys to unknown peaks and they will feel the vertigo, cold and sense of wonder that these great ranges evoke. [B]World’s Sneakiest Animals[/B] Over three episodes, presenter Chris Packham will explore how amazing new science is showing that cheating happens in almost all species alive while revealing how simple tricks have evolved into complex and amazing deceptions. [B]Others[/B] One Planet Great Barrier Reef (not to be confused with the series of the same name presented by Monty Halls) Waking Giants (dinosaur-themed programme) Netflix have poached some of the brightest talent - those behind Frozen Planet, and are making a series for release in 2019 called [URL="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/tussle-of-the-big-beasts-david-attenboroughs-team-behind-the-blue-planet-and-planet-earth-sign-a-10221596.html"]Our Planet[/URL].
