Major drama, natural history and factual titles make up a swathe of BBC Worldwide content licensed to New Zealand broadcasters in recent weeks. Landmark natural history series South Pacific (6 x 50′), much of which was filmed in and around New Zealand, will air on TVNZ. The national broadcaster has acquired two other major productions from the BBC’s renowned Natural History Unit; Yellowstone (3 x 50′), about the national park that is one of the world’s last great wildernesses, and Nature’s Great Events, (6 x 50′) an eyewitness account of the dramatic wildlife stories behind the planet’s most breathtaking natural events. Acclaimed British actors Hugh Bonneville and Janet McTeer star in new detective thriller Hunter, (2 x 50′) also acquired by TVNZ, while Freefall, (1 x 90′ from Origin Pictures) is a dramatic interpretation of the economic crisis and its effect on ordinary Londoners, and comes from award-winning writer Dominic Savage. The first series of Top Gear Australia (8 x 50′), a Freehand Production for SBS and BBC Worldwide, will join its UK counterpart at NZ’s home of Top Gear, Prime Television.
