The hype around the David Attenborough Seven Worlds, One Planet BBC series has been growing rapidly since the trailers first aired last year.

Attenborough’s voice tends to have a calming effect on most who hear it, and this may be the closest you get to exploring the natural wonders of the world in some time.

By the way, you’ll find a comprehensive list of places you can visit this weekend here.

(That’s a joke. Deep breaths.)

With the South African release date down to less than a week (BBC Earth, Channel 184 on DStv, Sunday at 4PM), Carte Blanche went behind the scenes with the team that put this gem together:

David Attenborough’s new blockbuster series “Seven Worlds, One Planet” features brand new animal behaviours and cutting-edge technology, underpinned by an urgent message to take better care of the earth. From poaching to habitat loss and climate change – the world as we know it is under threat.

Carte Blanche previews this phenomenal series that features breath-taking footage from every continent and takes wildlife storytelling to new levels.

Something to look forward to, if you haven’t already downloaded it.

Again, look out for this one on BBC Earth, Channel 184 on DStv, Sunday at 4PM.
