BBC Natural History: Behind the scenes at Science and Industry Museum, Castlefield 24 October 2016 Tickets from £5.00 — Book now

Featuring exclusive clips from David Attenborough’s Planet Earth 2 ahead of its broadcast later this year, this event is a behind the scenes look at what it takes to make wildlife documentaries such as Frozen PlanetLife in the Air, and Wild Arabia. Award-winning BBC filmmakers Dr Emma Brennand and Dr Chadden Hunter will be uncovering some of the stories and creatures they’ve encountered whilst filming, and their respective journeys from wildlife biology to film making. Punctuated by film clips, the event will be a fitting celebration of BBC Natural Histories 50 plus years of wildlife documentary making.
