Yes, I would definitely like to see the show and if any info comes up, could it please be put here so that those of us can watch it?  I am very impressed with William and Catherine  on how they are taking on more responsibility for the Firm and the Family.   I think there have been big changes in William these past 2 years, he has really grown into a fine young man whose shoulders are starting to bear the weight of the monarchy at times.

Article on William as the host for the show.

https://archive.ph/ogyzD

QuoteAs a future king, he hardly needs the work. But the Duke of Cambridge has turned his hand to a potential new career, as he scales a mountain, strolls down a beach, and climbs a wind turbine for his television hosting debut.

Following in the footsteps of his grandfather Prince Philip and Sir David Attenborough, his environmental mentor, the Duke is taking a star turn in front of the camera for a five-part series about his Earthshot Prize.

In the hosting seat, he is seen talking directly to camera and filming on location in Snowdonia, Orkney, a London waste barge and an off-shore wind farm.

The programme, which begins on Sunday night on BBC One, will broadcast at tea time, with the Cambridge children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis able to stay up to watch it on television at home.

The Duchess of Cambridge was able to witness some of the filming while the royal couple were on a visit to Orkney, and is said to have enjoyed watching from behind the camera.

QuotePrince William, who has tended to shy away from being personally in the limelight, is understood to have been persuaded in front of the cameras as part of a ?team effort? to bring the Earthshot Prize to global attention.

Speaking to experts on the prize council, he has previously joked he was the ?very boring coach looking for some very skillful players?.

'He's got a really important role to play'
Now, a source says: ?He knows that he?s got a really important role to play in that, but he?s realised that to create the space to hear the voices you see in the series, he had to use his own voice.

?Using his voice gives others a platform. All the amazing projects you see on the show and the finalists for the Earthshot Prize, he is trying to give those projects a voice.?

A preview of William's interview tonight.

Prince William: Climate Inaction is 'Robbing Children' - YouTube

Quote'Prince William: Inaction on Climate Crisis 'Robbing Children'

The Duke of Cambridge has warned that people could be "robbing from our children's future" if the climate crisis is not tackled in time.

In an interview with the BBC at Kensington Palace, the prince spoke of his father Prince Charles' environmental work and said it would be a 'disaster' if his children were still calling for change in 30 years time.

Prince William has said focus should be put on saving the Earth rather than engaging in the space race - and 68% of Britons agree.

Only 2% think that space exploration should take precedent.

One of those warm and fuzzy questions that the average citizen tends to answer in the way they are expected to.

Of course climate change is an important question but somehow I doubt that the majority of Britons anguish every day over climate change. If the question came up including things like the economy, price of living, petrol shortages, immigration into Britain by illegal migrants (one of the issues that drove Brexit) or the chance of a new Covid strain, I?m 100% certain that the results would be very different.

It will be interesting to see if about 70% of TV audiences in the UK tune in to view the WHOLE of the Earth Shot Prize broadcast. That will give more of a clue as to how important the average Briton sees it.
