Bristol-produced The Green Planet boosted city economy by £7.4m

The NHU has been producing natural history programmes from the heart of Bristol for 67 years, with other shows such as Countryfile and Antiques Roadshow also based in the city.

The BBC Bristol Economic Impact Report said the city’s creative sector grew by 74% in the five years to 2020, thanks in part to the “presence of a major broadcaster [the BBC]” in the region, according to the academics at the University of the West of England, Bristol.

The report also said the BBC is the largest employer in Bristol’s growing TV and film industry, making up 45% of production roles in 2022.

More than 75% of natural history commissions saw additional investment from a third party, meaning for every £1 the BBC invested, £1.86 was invested by another firm, the report added.

The Green Planet, which was produced in Bristol but filmed across 27 different countries, contributed £7.4m to the UK economy, with the report saying the majority would have benefited Bristol and its supply chain, with the show supporting 50 full time jobs.

Additionally, Wild Isles, produced by Bristol-based Silverback Films for the BBC, supported 80 full-time jobs and contributed up to £9m into the UK economy.
