Send us a textBBC’s Human Planet is one of the most spectacular documentary series ever made. It took four years to make and was filmed in more than 40 countries - many of the most remote on the globe.Human Planet uncovers nature’s greatest human stories, and celebrates our ability to adapt and live in virtually every habitat - from scorching deserts to frozen poles and steamy jungles.The landmark series received eight BAFTA nominations, winning two: for cinematography and editing. It also won an Emmy and best natural history series at the Panda awards. And this week’s guest, Dale Templar, was the series producer - the creative brains behind it all.As a documentary and TV maker, Dale specialises in filming in extreme and often dangerous locations with both humans and wildlife. Her adventures have taken her everywhere, including Antarctica and the North Pole. (And she has produced and directed a range of stars including British adventurer Bear Grylls.) This is such a rare chance to hear from one of the greatest doco producers on the planet. Dale reflects on the lessons she learnt from producing the Human Planet series; the grit and gumption needed to be a world-class producer - especially since forming her own independent production company, One Tribe TV, with her husband; and her experience of working with Bear Grylls and other celebs in the jungles of Costa Rica.SHOW NOTESOne Tribe TV's Website: https://www.onetribetv.co.uk/More about Dale: https://www.onetribetv.co.uk/dale-templarWe acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we have recorded this podcast, the Darug people.
