Dear All,
The BBC Natural History Unit is
currently looking for stories for its sequel series to Planet
Earth, Frozen Planet. In conjunction with a cutting edge website
that will run for the 3 years of the production, Frozen Planet will be the
ultimate and most comprehensive portrait of the polar regions to date. For
the first time, a truly multi-media approach to broadcasting will
give us near unlimited scope to tell all the
stories and to properly explain the science
that is key to these
environments.
This is where you come in. Do YOU know of any amazing
stories related to the scenery, the
wildlife, the science, or climate change that you think the ultimate portrayal of our poles should not miss out on? Stories that maybe have not been done
because they have been overlooked, or are new to science, or maybe were
previously considered too expensive or logistically difficult to attempt? What about stories that you think we
have already done but with new techniques of studying the animals or with new
filming techniques we could improve on?
I know you are a busy bunch, but it was the help of
scientists such as yourselves that made Planet Earth the success it
was, viewed by 1 in 3 people in the UK
and over 65 million people in
the US.
If you do want any further information as to what
we are doing please don't hesitate to contact me - all suggestions for stories gratefully
received.
Very best regards,
Matthew
