Extraordinary. Dramatic. Beautiful. The series exposes the wonders of British wildlife. It's our home, as you've never seen it before. David Attenborough celebrates Britain's wildlife that is as dramatic and spectacular as any he's seen abroad and reveals why it is globally important for nature. In this special documentary commissioned by the RSPB, WWF and National Trust and inspired by Wild Isles, we meet passionate people trying to restore nature to the British Isles.
Guided by Stanley Tucci, this documentary journeys into the heart of Italy to reveal the country as it truly is, complex, contradictory, and deeply rooted in its culinary traditions. Through food, Tucci uncovers stories of history, identity, and innovation, showing how every dish reflects centuries of culture, migration, and local pride. What emerges is not a postcard Italy, but a living, evolving nation where cuisine is a language spoken by everyone. In the first three episodes, Tucci immerses himself in Tuscany, savoring the artistry of its cuisine while exploring Florence and Siena, where Renaissance creativity still shapes the table. He then heads north to Italy’s industrial regions, discovering cutting-edge gastronomy and futuristic farming, from high-tech agricultural labs to unexpected gourmet food found at service stations. Finally, in the German-speaking Alpine north, he explores a dual cultural identity through mountain dishes, skiing traditions, and glacial river fishing, revealing how history, borders, and landscape have forged a cuisine unlike any other in Italy.
