On TVmaze, we have Planet Earth, Planet Earth II & Blue Planet II.

On August 31st, BBC 1 will be showing 'Planet Earth: A Celebration'.

Here's a description: David Attenborough narrates a selection of eight of the most extraordinary sequences from Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II, with a new soundtrack by Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea and the team at Bleeding Fingers - performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra and Mercury Award-winning rapper Dave on the grand piano. The film ranges from the East Cape of South Africa to the north of Norway and from Chile to the Indian Ocean to show how animals overcome adversity to survive and thrive in some of the world's most challenging environments.

Soooooo, my question is, where do we add it? :)

So in short words, it's a one-off combined from chunks of previously released episodes, with new audio, right?

Should it be added at all?

Honestly, I have no idea! There is brand new narration and a new score, but it seems like the actual stuff you see on-screen is nothing new.

From the BBC press site: Tony Hall, BBC Director-General, says: “The BBC has curated this amazing collection of sequences from two of the most talked about natural history series of recent years, Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II, as a spectacular treat for the viewers. With brand new narration from the brilliant David Attenborough, a new score from Hans Zimmer and the team at Bleeding Fingers played by the BBC Concert Orchestra with Dave on the piano, this thrilling journey around the world promises to lift everyone's spirits.”
