''Planet Earth'' is a 2006 British television series produced by the BBC Natural History Unit. Five years in the making, it was the most expensive nature documentary series ever commissioned by the BBC and also the first to be filmed in high definition. ''Planet Earth'' premiered on 5 March 2006 in the United Kingdom on BBC One, and by June 2007 had been shown in 130 countries. The series comprises eleven episodes, each of which features a global overview of a different biome or habitat on Earth. At the end of each fifty-minute episode, a ten-minute featurette takes a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges of filming the series. ==Background== In 2001 the BBC broadcast ''The Blue Planet'', a landmark series on the natural history of the world's oceans. It received critical acclaim, high viewing figures, audience appreciation ratings, and many awards. It also became a hugely profitable global brand, eventually being sold to 150 countries worldwide. Feedback showed that audiences particularly liked the epic scale, the scenes of new and unusual species and the cinematic quality of the series. Programme commissioners were keen for a follow-up, so Alastair Fothergill decided that the Natural History Unit should repeat the formula with a series looking at the whole planet. The idea for ''Planet Earth'' was born, and the series was commissioned by Lorraine Heggessey, then Controller of BBC One, in January 2002. A feature film version of ''Planet Earth'' was commissioned alongside the television series, repeating the successful model established with ''The Blue Planet'' and its companion film, ''Deep Blue''. ''Earth'' was released around the world from 2007 to 2009. There was also another accompanying television series, ''Planet Earth: The Future'', which looked at the environmental problems facing some of the species and habitats featured in the main series in more detail. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Planet Earth (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
