Natural World is a nature documentary television series broadcast annually on BBC Two and regarded by the BBC as its flagship natural history brand. It is currently the longest-running series in its genre on British television, with more than 400 episodes broadcast since its inception in 1983. Natural World is produced by the BBC Natural History Unit in Bristol, but individual programmes can be in-house productions, collaborative productions with other broadcasters or films made and distributed by independent production companies and purchased by the BBC. Natural World programmes are often broadcast as PBS Nature episodes in the USA. Since 2008, most Natural World programmes have been shot and broadcast in high definition.
Natural World (known as The Natural World until 2001) was a British nature documentary television series broadcast annually on BBC Two and BBC Two HD from 1983 to 2020. It was described by the BBC as its flagship natural history series. Each episode took an in-depth look at a particular natural history event, story or subject from around the globe, though occasionally a two- or three-episode miniseries would be shown.
Natural World was produced by the BBC Natural History Unit in Bristol under the stewardship of the series editor, who was responsible for commissioning or acquiring content. Approximately half of the programmes were produced in-house, with the remainder made up of collaborative productions with other broadcasters and acquisitions from independent producers. The series had close ties with the US series Nature, broadcast by PBS.
