Butterflies: A Very British Obsession (BBC 2 Tuesday 6 June 2023)

Butterflies: A Very British Obsession airs Tuesday 6 June 2023 on BBC 2.

The enduring allure of Britain’s beautiful butterflies is explored in this nature documentary that also boasts stunning cinematography. Burlesque performer Vicky Butterfly recreates classic butterfly routines, carnival-goers in butterfly costumes dance in Notting Hill, and women show off butterfly tattoos at Britain’s largest tattoo convention.

Three-quarters of Britain’s butterfly species are in steep decline; however, do they still have a message for us? The most stunning landscapes in Britain can be found in the course of a butterfly hunt. It raises the intriguing prospect that our fascination with butterflies may inspire us to protect the beautiful places we cherish.
