Terra (201): natural history
Status: agreed with Paul 3 November 2026, configured in 0.89.0 (ChannelIdentities.kt), awaiting his OK to install.
Identity: nature watched and understood. The animals and places are the story. Test against Wild: if the people are the story, it belongs on Wild.
History, verified: UKTV Documentary became Eden on 26 January 2009, changing from all documentaries to mainly documentaries about the natural environment, with other documentaries moved to UKTV History and UKTV People. Source: Wikipedia, U&Eden, read 3 November 2026.
Core: the Attenborough and BBC landmarks: Life on Earth, The Living Planet, The Trials of Life, The Blue Planet and Blue Planet II, Planet Earth I to III, Frozen Planet I and II, The Life of Mammals, The Life of Birds, Life, Life in the Undergrowth, Life in Cold Blood, Our Planet, Seven Worlds, One Planet, Dynasties, Africa, Wild Isles, Prehistoric Planet, The Green Planet, The Hunt, A Perfect Planet, Mammals, Asia.
Supporting: Hostile Planet, Wild China, Wild Russia, Nature's Great Events, Night on Earth, Tiny World, Attenborough's Life in Colour, Spy in the Wild, Serengeti, Eden: Untamed Planet, Natural World, Great Barrier Reef with David Attenborough, Big Cat Diary.
Time of day: 06:00 to 18:00 all of it. 18:00 to 23:00 the landmarks. 23:00 to 06:00 all of it. Sunday landmark, Sunday 20:00 to 22:00, a landmark series (in the spirit of BBC One's Sunday-night premieres; style, not verified history).
Order: in order throughout.
Catalogue notes: library spellings used: "Africa (2013)", "Dynasties (2018)", "Mammals (2024)", "Asia (2024)", "Great Barrier Reef with David Attenborough". The library has a second entry, "Prehistoric Planet (2022)"; only "Prehistoric Planet" is asked for, so it can't air twice as two shows. Old names that don't match (Our Planet II, Dynasties II, South Pacific and others) stay on the list in case they appear.
The old 20-show limit: set in 0.41.0, when Terra's list was short and the limit capped requests to Emby during early testing. It stopped Terra loading the end of its longer list. Terra now reads its whole curated list, as the other curated channels do, rather than another fixed number.
New arrivals: landmark natural history, wildlife, oceans and ecosystems.
