Screening each evening at 8.30pm from Monday, April 20, the week kicks off with the premiere of Blue Planet Revisited, exploring the challenges facing the marine eco-system and wildlife in the Great Barrier Reef and the Bahamas. The cameras then move from under the ocean to hundreds of kilometres up in the sky in Earth From Space, capturing natural spectacles on an epic scale and showing viewers the planet’s extraordinary beauty and diversity in astonishing detail. The week will finish with a special Sunday screening of every episode of David Attenborough’s iconic Planet Earth II. Presented by Liz Bonnin, Chris Packham and Steve Backshall, Blue Planet Revisited returns to two key locations featured in Blue Planet II to see how things have changed, talk to the scientists who know our oceans best and give us a snapshot of the health of the ocean. With the breeding season underway, the series focuses on the action following whales and their calves and turtles and their hatchlings together with spectacular footage of shark dives in the Bahamas and the underwater dawn chorus of the Great Barrier Reef, home to 600 different kinds of coral and more than 1500 species of fish.

  • Review of Spectrum Fees for Fixed Links and Satellite Services
    BBC response to Ofcom’s Initial Consultation: Review of spectrum fees for fixed links and satellite services 30 July 2015 BBC response to Ofcom’s Review of spectrum fees for fixed links and satellite services July 2015 2 BBC response to Ofcom’s Review of spectrum fees for fixed links and satellite services July 2015 Overview 1. The BBC welcomes the opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s Initial Consultation: Fees review for fixed link and satellite services published on 21 May 2015. Accordingly, we set out an initial response below along with further detail where most relevant. We look forward to further engagement as Ofcom’s proposals are developed. 2. The BBC is committed to efficient use of spectrum as well as providing value for money for licence fee payers. These responsibilities apply both to programme making and distribution functions which ultimately deliver services enjoyed by 97% of UK adults each week.1 3. The BBC uses fixed and satellite services for programme making and distribution, holding Wireless Telegraphy Act licences as well as contracts with commercial providers of services that use spectrum. 4. Nationally, the BBC’s direct-to-home (DTH) satellite distribution enables the provision of important coverage to populations out of reach of the terrestrial transmitter network. This helps ensure universal coverage so all households, across all parts of the UK, can access BBC services on at least one platform. 5. In addition to uplinks for DTH satellites, fixed and satellite links also comprise a vital part of the BBC’s distribution network providing DTT, DAB and analogue radio signals to transmitters.

  • Wednesday November 9 BBC Worldwide ANZ and Nine Agree Deal for Highly Anticipated Planet Earth Sequel
    Wednesday November 9 BBC Worldwide ANZ and Nine agree deal for highly anticipated Planet Earth sequel BBC Worldwide (ANZ) has announced a deal which will see the sequel to the hugely popular Planet Earth series premiere on Nine in Australia soon. Planet Earth II is the new natural history series narrated by David Attenborough and produced by the BBC’s acclaimed Natural History Unit. Capturing an estimated half a billion people worldwide, the original Planet Earth was the first natural history series to be filmed in high definition. Now ten years on Planet Earth II is the first full series in Ultra Hi-Definition, utilising the latest filming technology to reveal the natural world in entirely new ways. Through methods such as camera-stabilisation as well as remote recording and aerial drone technology, the six-part documentary invites viewers to witness creatures and behaviours so elusive that they were considered almost impossible to capture. The programme premiered on BBC One in the UK on Sunday evening and drew an incredible 9.2 million viewers in overnight figures. It was the UK’s highest rated Natural History title in nearly 15 years. BBC Worldwide ANZ’s Director of Content Sales, Irene Read, says: “This is a spectacular series that has all the wow-factor of the original Planet Earth, with the added benefit of new technology to capture the scale of our planet and get close to its animals in a way that was not possible ten years ago. Nine will be able to offer viewers a real treat with this series.” Hamish Turner, Nine’s Program Director, says: “Ten years after launch, Planet Earth still stands as a landmark natural history series, the first to be filmed in High-Definition.
