Everyoneâs favourite* nature documentary presenter, Chris Packham, is set to make a TV return with a new series about the âbizarre relationshipâ? between creatures.
It was rumoured that the former Really Wild Show presenter would begin in Essex with an examination of Arg and his lesser-spotted on/off mate, Lydia Bright, whose âbizarreâ? connection continues to baffle and astound viewers who scream âjust move onâ?.
But those rumours were totally unfounded and we now bring you news that in Secrets Of The Living Planet, the naturalist will venture from Brazil to Bangladesh in a bid to explain some of the hidden relationships shared by living things.
In each of the four hour-long episodes, Packham will explore a different ecosystem and the strange symbiotic relationships which exist therein. Apparently crabs in Bangladesh need tigers and geckos in Kenya need giraffesâ¦who knew?!
Shedding light on the reason he took part in the new series, Packham said: âMy earliest memories are of discovering beauty in small things. The Ladybird that tickled my palm and pitched on the tip of my finger was formatively perfect.â?
*sheds tear*
âUnderstanding nature is not about knowing why birds sing, why bees buzz or why fish swirl in silvery shoalsâ?, he continued. âItâs about being able to see the bigger picture, being able to see how all life is connected and, by unravelling the stories that link species, itâs also about developing a deeper more profound appreciation of life.â?
Secrets of The Living Planet is due to air on BBC Two at 8pm on snuggly Sunday evenings. The first episode will be shown on Sunday 24 June.
