Sir David Attenborough is to present a new seven-part documentary series for the BBC set across the length and breadth of Asia.
The show - the first time that the continent has been the subject of a major BBC natural history series - has been filmed over the last four years and will showcase Asia's diverse range of landscapes and wildlife, from the Gobi Desert to the jungles of Borneo and the polar wilderness of Siberia.
This year, 98-year-old Attenborough marks an incredible 70 years of making natural history programmes and Asia will become his 20th project since 2020 alone.
Sreya Biswas, the BBC's head of natural history commissioning, said: "We are absolutely delighted to have Sir David Attenborough presenting our fantastic new landmark series Asia for BBC One.
"Asia is a continent steeped in beauty and intrigue with some of the most wonderfully diverse habitats on the planet. A feast for the eyes, bringing these incredible locations and wildlife to the screen, with some behaviours never seen before, has been really exciting."
Attenborough is also working on Blue Planet III, which is due for release at some point in the next few years. body check tags ::
