BBC Greenlights ‘Evolution’ With Chris Packham & Reveals It Has Doubled Its Number Of Blue-Chip Science Shows Per Year
The BBC has ordered 'Evolution' series with Chris Packham, 'Disease X' with Chris van Tulleken and 'The Secret Genius Of Modern Life' with Hannah Fry.
With David Attenborough slowing down a tad, Coveney celebrated Packham as a “leading natural history and science presenter” for the BBC, whose communication skills plus zoology background make him the perfect fit for an evolution show. Evolution leads a BBC science slate that also features a Horizon show led by Chris van Tulleken charting the international hunt for the source of the next global pandemic, Coveney revealed. Produced by STV Studios, Disease X is the name the World Health Organisation gives to the yet-to-be discovered virus most likely to cause the next pandemic, and the show will see van Tulleken travel the globe meeting the scientists racing to stop it from happening.
