Brand new series David Attenborough’s Life in Colour -a co-production between Australia and the UK- begins this Saturday on Nine.

Australian filming locations include Adelaide River, Darwin (NT); Sydney and Coffs Harbour (NSW); Lizard Island, Heron Island, Stradbroke Island, Kuranda, Cairns, Port Douglas, Crater Lakes and Atherton Tablelands (QLD).

As previously reported, this is produced by SeaLight Pictures (Australia) and Humble Bee Films (UK).

Colour makes our world a beautiful place to live in, but there is so much more to it than beauty. As Sir David, the world’s most famous wildlife film maker, will illustrate, colour is the amazing way animals communicate and collaborate – it’s even their language of life and death.

The key creative team includes Colette Beaudry (Can We Save The Reef?), Sharmila Choudhury (Attenborough’s Natural Curiosities), Stephen Dunleavy (Tasmania: Weird and Wonderful), Adam Geiger (Can We Save The Reef? Sharks of the Shadowland), Nick Green (Seven Worlds, One Planet) and Sally Thomson (Attenborough and the Sea Dragon). Adam Geiger directed the Australian sequences, and Carolyn Johnson is the series’ Australian producer.

David Attenborough’s Life in Colour is an official Australia-UK treaty co-production between
SeaLight Pictures and Humble Bee Films for Netflix, the BBC, 9Network and Stan, with principal production investment from Screen Australia, in association with Screen NSW and Screen Queensland. Flame Distribution will manage international sales.

7:30pm Saturday on Nine.

  1. I Will not be watching, because this type of content is built for 4K and our local networks are far behind in providing that. I will wait until it’s on a 4K streamer or just buy a 4K blu-ray when avaliable.

    1. I’d be more concerned about the non stop ad breaks and pop ups covering the picture than the very slightly degraded picture on ‘ordinary HD’.
