You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. An amazing series and a technological tour de force by Steve Withers May 4, stephenwithers. Review Specs Discussion This new series not only delivers breathtaking wildlife photography but also addresses how the planet has changed in the ten years since the original series was made. Planet Earth II is broken down into six episodes — Islands, Mountains, Jungles, Deserts, Grasslands and Cities — each addressing different environments and aspects of life on this planet.

The episodes include some remarkable scenes, many of which have never been filmed before. There's the sight of lions attacking a giraffe, snow leopards in the mountains, a locust swarm and monkeys moving effortlessly through a city. However the series plays it's ace card in the first episode when we see a group of baby iguanas trying to reach the safety of the rocks whilst chased by a pack of Racer snakes.

This sequence is a masterclass in the use of editing and music to create nail-biting suspense, and it's easily one of the best natural history sequences ever created.

However the entire series is a triumph and it's made all the better by the BBC using this flagship series as a way of pushing technological boundaries with the adoption of 4K and HDR. The series is narrated by the incomparable Sir David Attenborough, who adds his usual level of gravitas to the sights on screen.

The only bitter-sweet aspect is that, with Attenborough's advancing years, he probably won't be around in another decade to narrate Planet Earth III.
