THAI PUBLIC Broadcasting Service will telecast the top-rated British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) documentary “Planet Earth 2” in prime-time slots next quarter, to help attract more viewers, particularly young people.

 

Meanwhile, the public broadcaster is partnering with a social-movement organisation to develop new prime-time programmes for both offline and online engagement with target audiences. 

 

Thai PBS director-general Krissada Raungarreerat said that because of intense competition from commercial television, the public broadcaster aimed to differentiate itself by offering premium content such as world-class documentaries and series.

That's almost too sensible to be a Thai idea.

It really is a fantastic documentary, incredible footage. Well worth the watch.

And once again they will take the English commentary off and replace it with Thai audio commentary.

Planet Earth was AMAZING. So well done, as are all BBC nature & science shows. Looking very forward to "2"

One wonders how accurate the translated voice over will be; I hope they take their time and do it properly.

Why do they (seemingly) only have one male and one female voice over actors that do every voice in every film/show
in the "handsome voice" (siang law) ooh -hoy
