David Attenborough will present “extraordinary animal dramas and wildlife spectacles” across the British Isles in a new series for the BBC.

The five-part natural history series, titled Wild Isles, aims to emulate what the Planet series did for the wildlife of the world — inspiring people to “safeguard and restore nature for future generations".
