The BBC press release described Spy In The Wild as:
'In one of the most innovative natural history series ever presented, Spy In The Wild deploys over 30 ultra-realistic animatronic 'Spy Creatures' to go undercover in the animal world, filming their unique behaviour closer than ever before.'

Previously David Tennant has narrated the nature series Earthflight, Penguins: Spy In The Huddle, Dolphins: Spy In The Pod and Pets Wild At Heart for John Downer Productions which specialises in utilising 'spy-cams' which means cameras can get right into the centre of animals' habitats.
