Britain and Ireland has some of the most diverse wildlife and beautiful landscapes on Earth and in this major landmark series, Attenborough will celebrate the wonders of the islands that we call home.
Revealing the surprising and dramatic habitats that exist right on our doorstep, it’s "our home as you’ve never seen it before".

Filmed over the course of three years, this new five-part series will investigate how our woodland, grassland, freshwater and ocean habitats support wildlife of all kinds.
The Giant's Causeway will feature in the first episode of the series titled 'Our Precious Isles' - celebrating the unique geologic history of the UK and Ireland.
An episode description reads: "One reason for Britain and Ireland’s natural wealth is its geology, which is among the most diverse on the planet.
"It ranges from the chalk formations of southern England to the limestone pavements of Yorkshire, and from the rugged granite of Northumberland to the volcanic basalt of the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland."
Using the very latest technology, each episode will capture dramatic and new behaviour across the British Isles, from battling butterflies to mighty killer whales on the hunt.
Episode One of Wild Isles will air on BBC 1 at 7pm on Sunday, March 12.
