BBC Greenlights Landmark Series On Insects As Unscripted Boss Kate Phillips Brands Notion Of Streamer Domination “Utter Bollocks”
The BBC has greenlit a 'Hidden Planet' insect series as Kate Phillips brands streamer domination "utter bollocks."
Notably, Phillips was speaking a session after Grant Mansfield, the EP behind Disney+’s most-watched natural history series of all time, A Real Bug’s Life, who had called on indies to embrace opportunities in the States. Across five globally-filmed episodes, Hidden Planet will reveal insects to be doting parents that care for their offspring and defend their families, accomplished architects that build beautiful structures and sophisticated communicators, enticing and manipulating large animals. Phillips said the BBC remains keen to take risks in the modern era, pointing out that “we don’t have commercial day-to-day pressures,” while acknowledging a poor recent license fee settlement and inflation in the market.
