There has been some controversy concerning the new hosts
MUCH-loved BBC nature programme Autumnwatch is set to make its return to our screens next week.
Here’s everything you need to know about the new series – from where it’s filmed and who will be hosting…
When is Autumnwatch on?
The popular family favourite will air on Monday at 8pm on BBC Two.
Who is presenting?
The trio that will be hosting the new series of Autumnwatch are Martin Hughes-Games, Michaela Strachan, Chris Packham.
Michaela and Chris have worked together before, as they both hosted kids’ favourite The Really Wild Show, which aired on CBBC.
In September, Martin Hughes-Games sent Autumnwatch fans into a frenzy when he announced that he was axed from the show.
He tweeted: “The bbc commissioner Tom McDonald has decided my services no longer required on springwatch etc.
“Sad but it’s been brilliant – thank you!!”
Former presenters of the show include Bill Oddie, Kate Humble and Simon King, who made up the regular team until 2008.
Where is it filmed?
The much-loved nature show is broadcast from various locations across the UK.
Remarkably, the production team is made up of 100 people and there are over 50 different cameras being used, making it BBC’s biggest outdoor broadcasting show.
This year, one of the key locations is Arne in Dorset, where the team will be working with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
