What time is Spy in the Snow on BBC1?

Spy in the Snow will air tonight (Sunday 30th December) at 7pm on BBC1.

If you miss it, the hour-long programme will be available to catch up on the BBC iPlayer.

The spy series began with 2013 documentary Penguins: Spy in the Huddle before viewers were then treated to 2017’s Spy in the Wild.

This time, wildlife producer John Downer will aim to teach fans how a beautiful winter wonderland actually poses a severe challenge to the animals that live there.

What animals does it follow?

The 'Snowball' cam will monitor how friendship bonds together a group of alpine parrots, the world's cleverest bird, in the snowy mountains of New Zealand.

A Wallaby cam in the mountains of Tasmania unexpectedly finds a suitor while the latest drone technology captures the lives of sea otters in Alaska.

In the Antarctic, the Spy Creatures captures a range of fascinating behaviour from the emperor penguins, including what the adult penguins without chicks get up to.

Lastly, in the Arctic, Snowball Cam proves to be of interest to the polar bears, which gives viewers a glimpse of polar bears play-fighting in the North Pole.
