BBC Natural History Unit's latest work will air in the UK at the end of the month...will air on Discovery next Spring.

narrated by Sir Attenborough :fuckyea:

apparently only 7 episodes but this had shorter production time compared to Planet Earth:okay:

The production team, which includes executive producer Alastair Fothergill and series producer Vanessa Berlowitz, were previously responsible for the award-winning series The Blue Planet (2001) and Planet Earth (2006), and Frozen Planet is being billed as a sequel of sorts. David Attenborough will return as narrator,[2] and as with Planet Earth, the series will be shot entirely in HD.

The seven-part series will focus on life in the Arctic and Antarctic. The production team were keen to film a comprehensive record of the natural history of the polar regions, because climate change is affecting landforms such as glaciers, ice shelves, and the extent of sea ice.

Filming is currently underway, and will focus particularly on the challenges facing polar bears and arctic wolves in the north and adelie penguins and wandering albatross in the south, although storylines are still being developed. After an introductory episode, the next four episodes will depict the changing seasons at the poles, before a final episode focusing on mankind’s activities there.[3] Filmmakers will be working in new locations, including Antarctica’s active volcanoes and the Russian Arctic.

As long as it isn't filled with environmentalist propaganda, I am looking forward to it. Considering the subject matter, I doubt it. They will be sure to only focus on the shrinking ice portions and glaciers, and completely ignore the growing ones

i've pretty much watched on the BBC docs that were shot in HD, most of them usually end with that sentiment. Otherwise I'd say they present without much bias.

I loved Planet Earth. Blue Planet didn't do it for me for some reason.

Another pre-HD one was really good, about bugs and insects. Very awesome
