David Attenborough - 90 Today

[magicrat]

Great TV as always. I love Attenborough. Will be a very sad day when he passes.

 

This . Program on Sunday every bit as good as his previous series, 

Outstanding contribution to the this country and raised the profile of British broadcasting globally

Compare what he has done for everyone that has ever been enthralled by one of his programs to the contribution made by xenophobic cunts like Farage that want to see us a island apart  not as a beacon of enlightenment in the one world we all inhabit

Planet Earth 2 started on BBC1 last night, mate.

 

Does anyone else think David Attenborough is a prick?

 

I saw him getting interviewed on some chat show a while back & he came across as a right fucking wanker.

 

His programmes are good right enough, I loved the sloth that heard a mating call so made his way across the jungle only to find that the bird sloth wasn't up for it, his completely expressionless reaction was quite something to behold. Plus nature documentaries make your fancy new telly look magic.

 

He's had decades of people essentially ignoring what he says while praising him for having a nice voice, he's entitled - at 90 years of age and peerless in his field - to be a little cantankerous.  The guy has no reason to go on a charm offensive at this point.

If William Shatner spoke softly with an English accent, would you be able to tell his voice from Attenborough's?

Could Attenborough sing Rocket Man though

Stand up and be counted David, America is counting on you. 

[Jairzinho]

Fraud.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Fraud.

 

Give him a chance, he's still bunked up in that badger set on the White house lawn waiting to pounce.

Hate to hold the ol fella accountable but.....

[lifetime fan]

Watching planet earth 2 and the film and narration is brilliant.

 

The flow of the programme has been a bit jumpy though, I know the theme is islands but it's not 'flowed' that well.

I always knew snakes were cunts.

Women without tits.

Watching the first episode of the latest series with my eldest, he's 7, and we're loving it.

 

Both cheered when the little lizard escaped from those devious snakes.

Oh massively. The fucking horrible cunts.

 

I just didn't think the programme was put together well enough.

 

There was no explanation or flow of why we're going from one island to the next.

 

The footage and commentary was exceptional.

 

I'm just hoping better from the next episode.

[lifetime fan]

Episode 2 is even better.

[Trumo]

I said in the other thread that there isn't really that much new they're telling us, but the sheer quality of the photography and the footage more than makes up for it.

[Bobby Hundreds]

That beach with those snakes. Fuck that.

The cinematography is incredible.

I was climbing the fucking walls watching that. When one of them leapt up the rock I considered fucking Earth off all together. Horrible bastards them. I also cheered when the lizard got out of the struggle. Funny the way they run as well. 

[lifetime fan]

Loving the way they show how they do the filming at the end of each programme too.

They only started doing it once they were rumbled for showing shots from a zoo instead of in the wild didn't they? 

[lifetime fan]

No idea.

 

That would be pretty shit if true.

I might be wrong but i'm fairly certain it is. What a job though working on something like that.

To be fair though the last place you would want to start filming is in a Polar Bear den with a mother who's only just given birth...

Not to mention that Polar Bears are one of the few animals to actively hunt humans!

They cover their noses when prowling as well.
