Chadden tells us what it's like to be a producer:
The UK premiere of Planet Earth II became the most watched natural history show for 15 years, drawing in an extraordinary 9.2 million viewers. After four years in production, 2 089 shooting days and 117 filming trips in 40 different countries, this latest landmark, narrated by Sir David Attenborough is already one of the most popular shows of the year so far in a space normally dominated by Drama, Sport and Entertainment.
Captured in stunning Ultra-High Definition detail, Planet Earth II is a spectacular exploration of the islands, mountains, jungles, deserts, grasslands and cities of the world. Audiences will soon discover the extreme forces that shape life in each of these iconic landscapes and the remarkable ways animals manage to overcome the challenges of surviving in the wildest places on Earth.
