Remain calm, but Ireland is getting its own version of Planet Earth

Alan Loughnane

Hell yes!

Planet Earth 2 was one of the most extraordinary pieces of television on show in 2016 with stunning shots complimented by the smooth and caressing voice of Sir David Attenborough.

Who can forget the famous baby iguana vs racer snakes scene?

Well we have good news for you, TG4 have created their own little version of Planet Earth set in Ireland called Éire Fhiáin.

The two-part series will follow the landscape of the Wild Atlantic Way along the 1,600 kilometre Atlantic coast of Ireland.

Featuring wildlife and magical landscapes, it gives an interesting insight into nature and the beauty of the  country.

The first part of the show will air on March 1 at 9.30pm on TG4, with a strong focus on Kerry. Take a peek at the trailer below.
