Do you think you have what it takes to make the next Planet Earth?
BBC One is looking for nine people to take part in the experience of a lifetime. Encountering extraordinary animals in amazing locations and testing yourself to the limit, this series will culminate with one exceptional individual securing a year’s placement at the BBC’s award winning, world famous Natural History Unit.
Would your holiday of a lifetime involve seeing one of the big five in their natural habitat ? Maybe you long to get off that beaten tourist track ? Do you get up at dawn to hit the mountain before anyone else ? Or do you live for adventure?
Peter Salmon, Chief Creative Officer, BBC Vision, says: “This is an exciting collaboration. The first of its kind in the BBC, a marriage of two in-house centres of excellence, responsible for current hits Last Choir Standing and Lost Land Of The Jaguar. Further proof, if any were needed, that our programme-makers will go anywhere to win a commission, even To The Ends Of The Earth…”
