’    Please, please for the love of God, do not that.  David’s latest documentary Seven Worlds, One Planet is due to hit our television screens before the end of the month and focuses on one continent per episode

  The series also looks into how climate change is affecting the ecology and what we could lose if we don’t change our ways
  Seven Worlds, One Planet airs Sunday 27 October on BBC One.
