David Attenborough is working on a new documentary, A Perfect Planet, from his home in London and the BBC hope it will be broadcast later this year. 

The 94-year-old natural historian is recording voiceovers for the series, which follows his Netflix release Our Planet. His new show will look at natural wonders and the impact human life on the world.

Speaking to The Mirror, the BBC's natural history commissioning editor said: "I am confident that it will hit the screens. There are small amounts of filming that remains to be done with Sir David, and of course, he also needs to record the voiceover. And there are some challenges involved with doing that during a time of lockdown."

He added: "Assuming no disasters happen, that series will air as planned in the autumn, which we’re all very excited about."

Attenborough is also working on another upcoming documentary film entitled David Attenborough: A Life On Our Plane, which is due to be screened on Netflix later this year.
