Listen on a soundbar or pair of speakers and you'll enjoy the clarity in the midrange. Tiptoeing penguins and scurrying crabs are brought to life with pads and shuffles by a 4K Blu-ray with impressive dynamic reach. The squeaks and whistles of the orca, communicating with each other as they hunt herring, sound other-worldly, while the thuds and punches of their tails as they stun and eat their prey are delivered with precise heft. Only on occasion, and with repeated viewing, does the accompaniment at times seem a little over-egged. And while it’s not quite as over-the-top as some of his Hollywood workouts, there’s a healthy dose of ‘epic’ here.įor the most part, it’s welcome and, indeed, fitting - seeing animals and environments that haven’t been filmed before certainly warrants a stirring soundtrack. Hans Zimmer is back in the hot-seat for the soundtrack, following on from where he left off with Planet Earth II. The talk begins at 7.30pm.Tested with Sonos Playbar, Yamaha RX-A3060, PMC Twenty 23 5.1

The legacies of series such as Frozen Planet and Blue Planet II are remarkable.” “In the Digital Age, the availability of high-quality film and television are increasingly important in inspiring people to care more deeply about the world around them and catalysing change – and the OU, BBC collaborations are fabulous examples of this. Mike Robinson Chief Executive of RSGS commented: “These talks are a fantastic opportunity to go behind the scenes of these programmes and find out more about some amazing discoveries.”

Our partnership with the BBC has produced ground-breaking programmes such as Blue Planet and Frozen Planet and our space science research is world- leading. “Teaching at the OU is underpinned by outstanding research in a huge range of fields. As Professor of Polar Oceanography at the Open University, his research has investigated how the oceans are melting the great ice sheets, how the sea ice around our planet is changing, and the importance of the ocean in the marine ecosystem.ĭerek Goldman, Knowledge Exchange Manager for the Open University in Scotland (who are kindly sponsoring this event) commented: Over the years, Mark has worked on the front line of climate change. And I’m honoured to be part of the RSGS Inspiring People programme as it gives me the opportunity to reach different cities and committed audiences.” “I’m delighted to be coming to talk about the latest research that goes into these series. “For my entire career, I’ve worked in the polar regions so I couldn’t miss the chance to work with the BBC. Mark will talk about the science of the Polar Regions and our oceans, the ins and outs of the television production process and the legacy of these shows in raising awareness about environmental protection.Ĭommenting on the upcoming talk, Mark said: These series used breakthroughs in polar and marine science and cutting-edge technologies to bring viewers face to face with compelling stories of the natural world. In his talk, Mark will dive behind the scenes of these programmes and explore how science and discovery were the driving forces behind these multi-award-winning documentaries. The Royal Scottish Geographical Society’s (RSGS) Inspiring People talks have arrived – and in Stirling, this means six more exciting names speaking between October 2019 and March 2020.įirst up in Stirling on Wednesday 9th October will be Professor Mark Brandon, one of the academic advisors for the BBC’s Frozen Planet and Blue Planet 2.
