Post Description

Sir David Attenborough, the face of BBC's natural history programming, is fronting a show for Sky's new 3D channel.

Attenborough has written and presented Flying Monsters 3D. The film uses new technology to transport viewers back 200 million years, to the time when pterosaurs lived – flying creatures with a wingspan of up to 14 metres.

Flying Monsters 3D will be shown in IMAX and other 3D cinemas,and premiere on Sky 3D this year.

Attenborough – whose Planet Earth, filmed in high definition, was a big hit for the BBC – said: "Having learned my television skills in the days of black and white, and been involved with the introduction of colour, I'm thrilled to be part of one of the first 3D television projects.

"3D is a wonderful way of seeing the world as the pterosaurs did, and it's to Sky's credit that they've taken on the challenge to be the first to broadcast in 3D."

Flying Monsters was commissioned by Sky's head of factual and features, Celia Taylor, and will be produced by Anthony Geffen, chief executive of Atlantic Productions.
