BBC announces Planet Earth for plants and new global series fronted by David Attenborough
The BBC is hoping to make stars of the Earth’s planet kingdom with its next big natural history series, Green Planet.
Described by the Corporation as “Planet Earth from the perspective of plants” the forthcoming series promises to showcase the “emotional stories and surprising heroes in the plant world”.
Using up-to-date technological advances, the new five-part series aims to “demonstrate that plants are as aggressive, competitive and dramatic as animals – locked in desperate battles for food, for light, to reproduce and to scatter their young”, say the BBC.
“They are social – they communicate with each other, they care for their young, they help their weak and injured,” continues the Corporation’s statement. “They can plan, they can count, they can remember.
“Plants are the stars of this series but there will also be box-office animals – plants are the arch-manipulators of the natural world. They bend the actions and lives of animals, including ourselves, to their own ends.”
