Planet Earth returns to BBC ONE on Sunday 5 November 2006 at 9.00pm - press pack for second part of the series
Introduction
The smash hit series Planet Earth, which wowed the nation pulling in more than 12 million viewers to BBC ONE in the spring, returns this autumn to continue the ultimate portrait of our planet - after four years in the making.
Using high definition cameras and the latest aerial filming techniques, the BBC's Natural History Unit team behind the multi-award winning series The Blue Planet explore the furthest flung places, capturing unique animal behaviours and providing an unparalleled view of awe-inspiring landscapes.
From the poles to the great plains, jungles, shallow seas, forests and the deep ocean, the world's premier cameramen explore the diversity of our planet.
Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, the second part of Planet Earth continues the thrills and surprises - promising to equal this year's most talked about documentary, which was recently voted programme of the year at The Guardian International TV Festival.
A BBC/Discovery Channel/NHK co-production in association with CBC.
The Series Producer is Alastair Fothergill. The score is composed by George Fenton.
