At 99 years old, Attenborough shows no signs of slowing down, and continues to passionately advocate for our natural world.

Aptly titled Ocean, his latest documentary has just landed in cinemas, and offers a "sobering overview" of the state of Earth's seas.

Of course, it features the beautiful cinematography, epic soundtrack and powerful insights we've come to expect from Attenborough's work, as well as rallying revelations about the climate crisis – and what we can do to tackle it.

But where and when can you watch it? Read on to find out.

How to watch Ocean – is it streaming?
