State of the Planet is a three-part environmental documentary series, made by the BBC Natural History Unit, transmitted in November 2000. It is written and presented by David Attenborough, and produced by Rupert Barrington. It includes interviews with many leading scientists, such as Edward O. Wilson and Jared Diamond. Each of the programmes attempts to find answers to the potential ecological crisis that threatens the Earth. The series was specially commissioned by BBC One for the millennium, and had a budget of around GBP 2 million. The music for this documentary was composed by English composer, singer and songwriter Sarah Class, featuring a short guest appearance on guitar from Mark Knopfler.
