Sir David Attenborough is returning to our screens this weekend, starting 11th Nov 2018, for a major new natural history series, Dynasties.
Airing on BBC1 on Sunday nights at 8.30pm, this five-part programme follows on from the hugely popular Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II to explore the lives of different tribes from the animal kingdom.
Each episode will take a different species in a different part of the world for its subject.
