Human Planet, BBC's epic landmark series (8x60mins) is a fascinating celebration of humanity's ability to adapt to all environments on earth.Deserts, jungles, oceans and frozen wastes etc.

“Typical of the BBC, the footage contained in each episode is some of the most spectacular yet to be filmed, taking full advantage of improvements in filming technology and accessibility to remote regions.

REVIEW

It’s time once again for some “How the heck did they film that?” TV.

The BBC which served up the earlier multi-part eye-poppers “Planet Earth” (in 2007) and “Life” (in 2010), on Sunday begins “Human Planet,” a six-hour series that travels to extreme environments where people do remarkable, and remarkably dangerous things, just to get by.
