New BBC wildlife documentary to be made up entirely of documentary on how they made the documentary

A new BBC wildlife documentary has been announced that will be comprised solely of how they made the documentary.

Each of the twelve episodes will begin with a ruddy-faced man with a nice accent explaining how difficult it is to film a particular animal.

There will then be some footage of the man and other people in the film crew drinking coffee, wearing gilets, and loading up a van or boat with expensive equipment.

There will then be a bit where the ruddy-faced man is in a tent whispering directly into camera about how the producer’s twisted her ankle and they’re all low on M&S sandwiches and it doesn’t look like they’re going to be able to film the animal.

Finally, the episode will end with them filming the animal and everyone looking pleased with themselves yet professional and the producer giving a thumbs-up to camera whilst on crutches.

“The bits at the end of the wildlife documentaries about how you film a snow-leopard have been the most popular bit of nature documentaries since we introduced them in Planet Earth,” explained Julian Hector, current head of the BBC Natural History Unit.

“So, we figured, let’s dispense with all that boring stuff about animals and crack straight on to the bit about how ruddy-faced men film penguins on a small rock in the Atlantic.”

It is understood that each episode will feature a ten-minute micro-documentary at the end about how the filmmakers filmed the filmmakers trying to film the animals.
