The BBC Press Office says:
Shot mainly using spy cameras, this film gets closer than ever before to the world's greatest land predator.
Icebergcam, Blizzardcam and Snowballcam are a new generation of covert devices on a mission to explore the Arctic islands of Svalbard in Norway. Backed up by Snowcam and Driftcam, these state-of-the-art camouflaged cameras reveal the extraordinary curiosity and intelligence of the polar bear.
The cameras are just a breath away when two sets of cubs emerge from winter maternity dens. They also capture the moment when the sea-ice breaks away from the island in the Spring. As one set of mother and cubs journey across the drifting ice in search of seals, the other is marooned on the island with very little food. How t…

David has been filming for United in the North East recently. The following story was in the Sunday Sun:
METRO passengers thought it was a Tardis they’d stepped into and not a train when former time lord David Tennant was spotted at a North station.
The Scottish star appeared in full 1950s garb alongside Sunderland-born star Melanie Hill and some nostalgic props as part of a film shoot in Tynemouth, North Tyneside.
The coastal spot doubled as a set for the day as part of a new BBC dramatisation of the 1958 Munich air crash.
The pair were on Tyneside for his latest role as one of the talented Manchester United team which became the youngest side to win the league, only for the squad to be ripped apart when eight were killed in the disaster.
Called ‘United’, the drama aims to bring to life the tragic event which virtually wiped out manager Sir Matt Busby’s team, nicknamed Busby’s Babes, and the battle to overcome the devastation.
Despite the film being about a team from Manchester, the BBC an…

United is based on the true story of Manchester United's legendary "Busby Babes", the youngest side ever to win the Football League, the 1958 Munich Air Crash that claimed eight of the their number and the extraordinary spirit of a city that rebuilt the team in the wake of the disaster.

In anticipation of his own stage Hamlet in 2011, Michael Sheen looks back at classic productions of the play and the many different interpretations of a young actor's most coveted role.
The last few years have seen a glut of high-profile Hamlets in the British theatre, culminating recently with Rory Kinnear at the National Theatre in London and John Simm at Sheffield Crucible.
Michael Sheen, who is due to play the role at the Young Vic in 2011, asks why Shakespeare's play remains very much the thing for 21st century audiences.
He considers the rich archive of Hamlets from the theatre, cinema and radio archives, starting with Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree in 1908 and journeying to the present-day, taking in the interpretations of John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier, Richard Burton, Jonathan Pryce, Kenneth Branagh and David Tennant, as well as female Hamlets, Sarah Bernhardt and Frances de la Tour.
Michael explores the challenges of a role that has become a rite-of-passage for leading actors…

David appears in the video for the British Legion's new charity single.
They are aiming to boost funds by releasing a fund-raising single - of silence.
The novel idea includes a silent single and video with no music, just occasional background noise.
Watch the video below:

The legion hopes the release will help it beat last year's record-breaking appeal total of just under £35m.
Legion spokesman Liam Maguire is optimistic that the single will galvanise people into donating.
He said: "Where have you seen the prime minister and the lead singer of Iron Maiden in the same music video together?
"The reaction on Facebook has been amazing; we've had over 3,500 people sign up in the last 24 hours, so we're hoping the reaction is just going to be huge."
The Royal British Legion, the UK's biggest forces charity, has set a target of £36m for this year's appeal, helped by the "silent" single which it is hoping will get to the number one slot in the charts …
