<p>Planet Earth: A Celebration will air this summer, and aims to cheer up viewers at “a time of international uncertainty”.</p>
<p>Broadcaster and naturalist Mr Attenborough has recorded a new narration for the programme, his first natural history show to air this year.</p>
<p>Meanwhile Brit and Mercury Award winning rapper Dave, a classically trained musician, plays the grand piano with the BBC Concert Orchestra for the soundtrack.</p>
<p>Composer Hans Zimmer has also worked on the BBC One special, creating new compositions and rearranging the original scores.</p>
<p>The programme will feature eight sequences taken from the BBC’s popular documentaries Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II.</p>
<p>From Blue Planet II, they include an octopus fighting off a shark by pushing their arms into the gills to suffocate the predator.</p>
<p>The one-off programme will also feature bird eating fish – giant trevallies propelling themselves out of the water to catch sea birds in mid-air.</p>
<p>Highlights from Planet Earth II include the famous scene in which a newly-hatched marine iguana is chased by snakes.</p>
<p>The BBC One programme will look at how “animals overcome adversity to survive and thrive in some of the world’s most challenging environments – offering a message of hope to humanity”.</p>
<p>Dave said: “I’ve always been fan of powerful natural history documentaries. This is a programme where nature and music come together.”</p>
<p>BBC director-general Tony Hall said: “This thrilling journey around the world promises to lift everyone’s spirits.”</p>
<p>The BBC Concert Orchestra has worked on soundtracks for the series from the original 2001 Blue Planet.</p>
<p>Orchestra director Andrew Connolly said: “To bring the Concert Orchestra out of lockdown in order to create new music with Dave and Hans Zimmer for Planet Earth: A Celebration was very special, and that feeling of coming together is at the heart of our performance.”</p>
