Planet Geordie has been revealed this week, transforming reality series Geordie Shore into a mockumentary nature show voiced by Brian Blessed.

Exploring the lives of some of the UK's most prolific party animals, elements of the Geordie life cycle include mass migration into nightclubs, power struggles within the herd, getting 'mortal', intricate mating rituals and the hunt for food.

As a secret fan of Geordie Shore, Blessed comments: "I'm a huge nature fan, and have a mini animal sanctuary at my house, so I was delighted when I was asked to do a nature documentary voiceover for NOW TV's Planet Geordie.

"I met Holly and Scotty T and they were lovely in real life and very sophisticated, but watching the clips they'd selected for the video, you are left with the impression that they're a herd of wild animals of which I approve!"

Director of NOW TV, Gidon Katz adds: "We noticed a gap in the nature mockumentary market for the life cycle of the party animal and the return of Geordie Shore to NOW TV felt like the purr-fect time to correct this.

"We're huge fans of both Geordie Shore and Brian Blessed so we pounced on the opportunity to create Planet Geordie with them. It's top koala-ty entertainment that has our seal of approval."

Season 12 of Geordie Shore debuted earlier this week on MTV. The show can be watching with a NOW TV Entertainment Month Pass for £6.99.
