BBC's Planet Earth on Arts Central, every Wed 10pm from today

Mediacorp's Arts Central will be screening BBC's Planet Earth every Wednesday in their Documentray @10 time slot, beginning today, Wed 04 Apr 2007.

The clip on intergroup conflict in chimpanzees was from the episode "Jungles." I'll blog about that in future.

From the Arts Central webpage:

"Five years in production, over 2000 days in the field, using 40 cameramen filming across 200 locations, this is the ultimate portrait of our planet. A stunning television experience that combines rare action, unimaginable scale, impossible locations and intimate moments with our planet's best-loved, wildest and most elusive creatures. From the highest mountains to the deepest rivers, this blockbuster series takes you on an unforgettable journey through the challenging seasons and the daily struggle for survival in Earth's most extreme habitats. Using a budget of unprecedented proportions, HD photography and unique, specially developed filming techniques, Planet Earth takes you to places you have never seen before, to experience sights and sounds you may never experience again."
