Clear your weekend because it arrives tomorrow.

While there are countless ways to define the greatness of a TV show, one barometer could be the fact that some TV shows and events actually incite habits and rituals. For example, The Late Late Toy Show is now an institution and for the next six weeks, every person will be sitting down at 21:00 to watch Game of Thrones with their phone switched off for fear of spoilers. On this note, Sunday evenings have usually been the domain of David Attenborough because his wonderful nature documentaries are akin to the most perfect comedowns from a busy weekend. Well, as stated previously, the beloved broadcaster is back with a new series on Netflix and Our Planet looks like it's everything that we've come to expect. Using the latest technology, Our Planet was filmed entirely in Ultra High Definition in over 50 countries. From exotic jungles to the deepest seas, the project took fours to film and the production had over 600 crew members. To put things into perspective, that's three and a half thousand filming days! With the series set to launch on 5 April, we've been treated to even more clips and they look spectacular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1sS1OehnGw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgwjJQ8PmsA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b-NCuZQ34w Clip via Netflix
