Matthew Conor Robinson, an Emmy-nominated wildlife cameraman who worked on Netflix's "Our Planet II," has filed a personal injury lawsuit against BBC Natural History and Factual Productions Ltd. Court records indicate the claim was lodged at the High Court in London on August 13.
Details regarding the alleged incident, including when and where it occurred, the specific nature of the work Robinson was engaged in, and the injuries he claims to have sustained, have not yet been publicly disclosed. Robinson has declined to comment on the matter.
Robinson's career includes extensive work on major natural history productions. For "Our Planet II," he served as a production camera operator throughout 2021, filming sequences for the series narrated by Sir David Attenborough. He was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for his work on a Laysan Albatross sequence featured in the show.
His professional credits also list camerawork for "Underdogs," "Americas," and "Sentient," as well as for the BBC program "Springwatch." The lawsuit against the BBC follows a separate personal injury claim recently filed against BBC Studios by a former "Top Gear" Stig.
A spokesperson for BBC Natural History and Factual Productions Ltd also declined to comment.
