AN HOUR ON EARTH: NEW SERIES ANNOUNCED FOR BBC TWO

Using pioneering seamless filming techniques, each film explores magic moments when Earth bursts into life - fleeting windows of time when the conditions are just right and animals spring into action.

From the rush hour just before dawn in the Kalahari, as desert creatures dash to beat the morning heat; to the hour after the rains in the Amazon, when the forest fills with activit.

And from the hour of high tide in the Australian coral reef, this series takes the audience on a mesmerising cinematic journey through nature’s most extraordinary moments. This is natural history on a deadline.

An Hour on Earth, a 4x60’ series for BBC Two, iPlayer and PBS, is made by Offspring Films. Executive Producers are Alex Williamson, Isla Robertson and Sam Hodgson and the Series Producer is Dan Perowne. The PBS Executive in Charge of Production is Diana El-Osta. Fremantle is handling international distribution for the series.
