First thing I thought was like "phew, not dead. What a sad day it'll be once he does die". He's been narrating so good haha documentaries I've seen for as long as I can remember (and since I can understand English).
Planet Earth is much better than his Our Planet thing on Netflix.
Our Planet just feels like episode after episode of "it's all dying, and it's all your fault".
Like, I get it, and it is. But I just want to see some pretty tigers or leopards or something to take my mind off it. I want raccoons and their funny little hands. I want sexually frustrated birds of paradise making an ever more elaborate attempts to get laid.
The sad thing is that the ones who hear it and understand it are the ones trying to change what little we can already. So hearing it over and over is depressing.
The ones who don't care are the ones who need to hear it the most, but will ignore it.
David Attenborough is to present one last series of the BBC’s award-winning natural history programme Planet Earth.
This outing of the epic homage to nature’s variety will be the concluding part of a trilogy.
“The opening of the series with David was filmed in the beautiful British countryside in exactly the location where Charles Darwin used to walk while thinking over his Earth-shaking ideas about evolution,” says Gunton.
Filming at sites such as Skomer Island off the west coast of Wales involved the presenter being accompanied by a doctor with a defibrillator each time he made the climb up the 87 steep concrete steps from the landing jetty to the top of Skomer Island.
Producers also claimed that they had to change their filming plans due to fears that placing Attenborough too close to the seabirds they intended to shoot could potentially end up killing the nonagenarian – due to an avian flu outbreak on the neighbouring island of Grassholm.
“I have an old friend who’s an expert on infectious diseases and I rang him up for his opinion,” says Wild Isles series producer Alastair Fothergill.
