Britain From Above site launched

The website for Britain From Above, a multiplatform project from the BBC, has gone live today.

According to the BBC, the project is about "some of the extraordinary unseen stories of how Britain works" and the first programme will be broadcast on BBC One on Sunday night at 2100BST, presented by Andrew Marr.

The project "makes use of satellite technology to create stunning images of Britain from above", the BBC said.

Videos on the website will be available for you to embed into your own blog and the site will also feature photography from Jason Hawkes, one of the world's foremost aerial photographers.

"It's one of the first times we've created a series like this with online in mind from the ground up," said Nick Cohen of the BBC.

"That meant that even right at the outset - during scriptwriting and storyboarding - the team was thinking about how every last aspect of what they were capturing would work online," he continued.
