Blue Planet launches spin-off

The hit TV series Blue Planet is getting a new spin-off, focusing on the seas around Britain.

The show will air on BBC daytime, which has traditionally been associated with popular stalwarts like Homes Under The Hammer and Bargain Hunt.

Springwatch star Gillian Burke and Countryfile presenter Steve Brown, alongside Chris Packham, will front Blue Planet UK.

Due to air on BBC One over a week in March, it will capture the UK’S marine wildlife.
