BBC has accused Netflix of copying "'filming techniques" from its award-winning shows such as 'Planet Earth' produced by its Natural History Unit. According to Mirror, an insider from BBC said that Netflix's upcoming series 'Our Planet' voiced by David Attenborough "wasn't original at all". 

The source was quoted by Mirror as saying, "They’ve nicked the filming techniques, the stories, even the title from us, not to mention the presenter. And it’s been made by an ex-BBC producer who still makes natural history programmes for the BBC. There is nothing in any way original about this series."
