Britain’s best-loved naturalist Sir David Attenborough is back on the small screen with a new series, Dynasties.
Over five episodes, the national treasure will focus on “celebrated yet endangered” species from across our beautiful planet.
The new series, which starts tonight, marks the first nature programme Attenborough has voiced since Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II. The new show also comes days after the news of Our Planet, which will see Attenborough lend his voice to a Netflix documentary.
