OTHER NEWS
New Series on BBC2 
Claire Thompson, a researcher from the BBC Natural History Unit, has sent the following message:
The BBC Natural History Unit in Bristol are currently making a new landmark series for BBC Two focusing on the anthropological side of the human rituals of the world.  The series "Rituals" will be made in the style of Human Planet, though perhaps follow more of a thesis behind rituals, giving this series a stronger narrative.  The potential outreach in highlighting advancements in anthropological research is enormous, our previous BBC Natural History Unit productions, Planet Earth, Human Planet and Frozen Planet have been seen by over 100 million people worldwide.  The series will be broadcast worldwide in 2017/2018, with filming taking place worldwide over a two-year period.
We are in the pre-production stage at the moment where we are collating ideas to build into a presentation to pitch to the commissioners.  The episodes are broken down into, Rites of Passage, Survival, Family and Society, Belief and Celebration.
We are aware that gaining filming permissions and access to these incredibly intimate times in people’s lives is very difficult and we would endeavour to work closely with anthropologists and researchers in the field, who perhaps have already established relationships with communities and would be willing to host our film crew. In addition - whereas some film projects have a short filming period, this one, because of the nature of the subject, will have longer in order to really film unique stories in a beautiful and respectful way.
It would be great to hear from you if you have any potential stories or pieces of research that you think would make a good ‘filmable’ sequence for television. Each chosen story will ultimately become a 5-6 minute film within an hour-long episode; crucially, we are looking for ideas of rituals that incorporate an event and have a natural story arc, a beginning, middle and an end.
