Mike Gunton dives into the heavy-duty logistics of wildlife filmmaking, revealing just what it takes to get crews to some of the most remote parts of our planet. Sir David Attenborough recalls the reality of shooting on location 50 years ago when even a working telephone was hard to come by, whilst Line Producer Bronwen Thomas tells us what it’s like to film in more recent times to deliver one of the biggest and most ambitious series to date with Planet Earth III. Filmmaker Abdullah Khan also shares his experience of filming the Indus river dolphin and what happens on location when the original plan has to change on the fly.
