Filming revelations from the landmark BBC One David Attenborough series by Huw Cordey

The Hunt is a series with real-life, edge-of-the-seat drama. But it?s not about killing. It?s an outstanding production about the sophisticated relationships between predators and prey. And The Hunt?s state-of-the-art technology has revealed more about some of these relationships than even the scientists knew. You will hear about filming breakthroughs, personal dramas, scientific discoveries and aerial revelations, and be shown special clips from behind the scenes. Characters appearing on screen include Arctic Wolves, aerobatic Caracals, and giant Blue Whales. This will be an eye-opening presentation.

Huw Cordey joined the BBC's Natural History Unit in 1995 and worked on long-running series like Wildlife on One, Land of the Tiger, Andes to Amazon, and Sir David Attenborough?s Life of Mammals. He was part of the Planet Earth team, and produced three episodes for this hugely popular and multi-award-winning series. Following Planet Earth, he was appointed Series Producer of South Pacific, a six-part landmark series for BBC2. In 2009 he moved to Silverback Films and was Series Producer for North America ? Discovery Channel?s first foray into natural history programming. He recently worked on the blue-chip BBC series The Hunt and is currently working on another major BBC series, as well as making a programme on Jungles for Netflix.
