The Attenborough documentaries have been pretty incredible in UHD

They don't really announce it but when nothing is running, you can enable the beta in iPlayer and check your device can do it when there is no normal content.

They use HLG as the HDR format and not HDR10, it is really good delivery. Stuff like Dynasties, Blue Planet 2 and Wimbledon are stunning. Some of the streams have been first come first served form the sports events, not sure on the pre records. They use a good bit rate as well, you need a fast connection.
