Some good news for Panasonic 2016 range TV owners - it sounds like the BBC are testing iPlayer UHD with HDR first on the 2016 Panasonic range (not sure if that means you'll have a new firmware inbound or whether the BBC have just updated their end):
BBC tests 4K Planet Earth II in HDR on iPlayer - BBC News
It's a Planet Earth II 4 minute clip but suggests you're all good for HLG when it arrives.
It doesn't mention specifics or how you access it but from the looks of the screenshot in the article it will pop up as soon as you launch iPlayer on a currently supported Panasonic TV.
You can currently pre-order Planet Earth II on UHD Blu-ray in the USA but not within the UK which is a shame.
..:: Edit ::..
Turns out it was just SDR content with the HDR HLG content to come in the future as Panasonic don't support HLG HDR yet!
