#SevenWorldsOnePlanet has taken audiences by storm on Sunday evening.
Sunday evening produced a drama-filled day of Premier League action, with Liverpool and Manchester United picking up wins, while Arsenal were held to a draw by Crystal Palace.
But while many people were on the edge of their seats watching the sport, others sat back and marveled at yet another excellent David Attenborough documentary.
#SevenWorldsOnePlanet aired on BBC One, and as is almost always the case with Attenborough-created documentaries, people loved it.
The first episode of the seven-part series followed the continent of Antarctica, while occasionally making reference to the ongoing climate emergency, but for the most part just showing nature at its most incredible.
And if you missed it, don’t worry – the BBC have for some reason released a compilation of dozens of penguins … doing their business, and added it to some cheerful music.
Take a look, unless you happen to be eating your dinner at the minute…

Naturally, people took to Twitter to praise the first episode of the show:
#SevenWorldsOnePlanet already has all the hallmarks of classic #DavidAttenborough. Cute baby penguins, stunning scenery and the soothing tones of Sir David. With a clear and sombering message 'This may be the most critical moment for life on Earth since the continents formed'. pic.twitter.com/SxEGjj2Jql

Truly outstanding and shocking television. We have all got to do whatever we can to save this incredible and beautiful planet and the animals on it. Thank you @BBCOne for this programme. #SevenWorldsOnePlanet
