Planet Earth is a documentary that ran in 2006 for 1 season with only 11 episodes. Each 50 minute episode features a global overview of different biome or habitat on Earth, usually consisting of, Polar, Mountains, Caves, Fresh Water, Seas, Oceans and forests, it is then followed by a 10 minute feature which takes the audience behind the scenes look at the challenges that the cast came across while filming that particular episode.
Planet Earth was produced by the BBC Natural History Unit, it was 5 years in the making and was one of the most expensive nature documentary series that was ever commissioned by the BBC and was also the first to be filmed in high definition. The show first premiered on 5th March 2006 in the UK on BBC 1 and had been shown in over 130 countries by June 2007.
The producer and director of the show was Alastair Fothergill, he is a British producer of nature documentaries for television and cinema.
From watching a couple of the episodes of this documentary I can see that it does not relate to my groups documentary idea in any way, the programme is a nature documentary, however the two plots are very different. Our documentary is very basic compared to this one which is quite understandable considering that we were given a 10 minute time slot and this programme had an hour.
