Sir David back filming as shoot recommences
Sir David Attenborough has recommenced filming on his latest series, The Green Planet, after production was halted in March.
The broadcaster, 94, recently conducted two shoots for the programme, which documents the world of plants – one in Cambridge and the other in East Sussex.
Sir David is pictured using specialist microphones to listen to the sound of water moving in a xylem tree, as the BBC Studios Natural History Unit (NHU) look on.
The shoot, originally scheduled for May, took place over one day following Covid -19 guidelines, with crew numbers kept to a minimum and masks worn at all times.
Scripts and briefing notes were emailed out to production staff ahead of time to avoid printed copies being handled by multiple people.
Mike Gun ton, executive producer of The Green Planet, said: “David was even more excited than us to be back in the field.
“It was brilliant to have the band back together again.”
