You got that right, Davo. We've been craving the outdoors more than ever.
According to the BBC, audiences will take part in a "joyful and adrenaline-packed journey round the world", from the East Cape of South Africa to the north of Norway, from Chile to the Indian Ocean.
We'll see how these animals overcome adversity to survive and thrive in some of the world's most challenging environments - "offering a message of hope to humanity".

Designed to "raise our spirits during the pandemic", the show will bring together breathtaking visuals alongside new compositions and rearranged scores from famed composers Hans Zimmer and Jacob Shea, with the BBC assuring the string section was performed in a socially distanced space by the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Meanwhile, the Brit award-winning 'Question Time' rapper Dave will be performing on the grand piano.
This sounds like exactly what the doctor ordered.
