First up is three seasons of the Channel 4 format Handmade: Good with Wood (total 22 x 60 min.), the Plimsoll-made competition series that puts skilled woodworkers to the ultimate test of craftsmanship and imagination. Marcus Wareing’s Tales from a Kitchen Garden (10 x 30 min.), a Plimsoll production for BBC Two, accompanies chef and restaurateur Wareing as he travels throughout England searching for tips and inspiration as he pursues his dream of living and cooking in the countryside.

The rustic–homey vibe continues with two seasons of Plimsoll’s My Unique B&B (30 x 45/30 min.), produced for BBC One and Two, in which families turn unused spaces in their homes into welcoming (and income-earning) accommodations for tourists.

Taking it out of the home and into the wild, Mountain Vets (three seasons, 18 x 30/60 min. total), produced by Rare TV for BBC Two, follows the busy vets of the Kingdom of Mourne in Northern Ireland, where animals outnumber people 10 to 1. Produced by Maverix for Norway’s TV2, Ice Cowboys (6 x 40 min.) accompanies champion dogsled racers as they traverse the snows of Alaska.

Different sides of nature are explored in a quartet of standalone docs, beginning with Plimsoll’s Queer Planet (1 x 120 min., pictured above), which explores the wide range of same-sex relationships in the natural world. Produced by Passion Planet for PBS, My Garden of a Thousand Bees (1 x 60 min.) is an intimate, first-person doc in which a veteran wildlife cameraman, confined to his home during lockdown, discovers the many diverse species and relationships within the community of bees that inhabits his small urban garden.

Ocean Souls (1 x 60 min.) from the eponymously named Ocean Souls Films explores the underwater world of whales and dolphins, while Plastic Fjords (1 x 60 min.), produced by Pandora Film AS for Norway’s NRK, sounds an urgent alarm about the mountains of waste that have been accruing in the world-famous Norwegian fjords.

Turning to history, Plimsoll has a pair of two-parters for BBC Two — Thatcher & Reagan: The Special Relationship (2 x 50 min.) and The Real Peaky Blinders (2 x 60 min.), both titles equally self-explanatory — and, for Channel 4, two seasons of Britain by Beach (8 x 50 min.), which explores the island’s history through the many different kinds of encounters that transpired on its coasts.

Finally, in the world of the arts, Magnify is bringing three standalone docs made by Seventh Art Productions. The Danish Collector: Delacroix to Gauguin (1 x 50 min.) spotlights the pioneering art collector who helped elevate the reputation of the 19th-century French Impressionists; Sunflowers (1 x 50 min.) offers a revelatory look at Van Gogh’s immortal paintings, amplified by HD photography; while Easter in Art (1 x 90/50 min.) explores how some of history’s greatest artists have depicted the death and resurrection of Jesus.
