Sir David Attenborough's new show will explore the animal dating scene.
Sir David Attenborough
The 95-year-old broadcaster is making a new BBC series called 'The Mating Game', which focuses on the ways in which different animals go about finding themselves a partner.
Asked what he wants his audience to take from the series, he told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I hope they’ll take away the overwhelming truth, which is how unbelievably ungraspable the variety of the natural world is, what governs the animal world, and what governs the way in which animals behave."
The five-part series - which is set to start in October - was filmed using 8K technology, and is set to give a rare insight into the animal dating scene.
The BBC said of the show: "Nearly every species has its own strategy – some choose to fight, others to pursue, whilst others create a song and dance about it."
Meanwhile, David previously claimed that the BBC wouldn't have commissioned his first nature show if it was suggested to them now.
The veteran broadcaster observed that the organisation has changed dramatically over the years, and he doubts whether his 1954 programme 'Zoo Quest' - which saw him spend months in Africa - would've been commissioned these days.
He recalled: "Out of the blue I thought it would be wonderful to go to Africa.
"To my amazement the bosses at the BBC said, ‘That’s not a bad idea’ ... and they let me do it. I’m sure I could have done it much better if I’d been more experienced or talented, but we got away with it.
"The BBC said, ‘How long will it take?’ ‘Ooh, three or four months’.
"'Oh well, good luck, my dear chap. Hope to see you at Christmas’.
"It was that kind of organisation at the time, it isn’t like that anymore."
