On ITV tonight (Sunday 7 9 July) at 8pm, there’s a new series beginning  called A Year on Planet Earth.

Narrated by Stephen Fry, the series shows how the Earth’s journey around the sun affects our wildlife.  The programme was filmed over three years and covers many different locations.

Kicking off with winter in the Northern hemisphere, of course it’s summer in the south.  Thus we see polar bears as well as African elephants and King penguins.
