Hey everyone! We apologize for TH-cam cutting a few seconds here & there due to Copyright claims. But this is still an EXCELLENT video and we are in LOVE with Sir David! Please drop a Like if you enjoyed it too. We have already begun our rabbit hole into viewing his work that we regrettably have missed. Lot's to catch up on! Thanks for watching & please comment at the end of the video.
David Attenborough has been such a prominant part of our UK heritage producing and being the 'voice' of nature for the latter half of the 20th Century, now into the 21st. He was also a senior manager at the BBC, served as controller of BBC 2 and director of programming for BBC Television in the '60s and '70s. Series like 'Zoo Quest' 'The Living Planet', 'Life On Earth' and 'The Blue Planet' are standards of their kind. You had to watch out for his brother Dickie though . . . (sotto) . . there was tell that he had this island where he and a team of scientists resurrected dinosaurs and, apparently, some got out! Edit: If you get some of the programmes, make sure they are also narrated by David himself. NOT Oprah Winfrey!
Take a look at the animals of Britain, you might be surprised what there is and was here in the past.
react to marley and me, i lost all emotional control when i first watched that film
his shows are all available on DVD box sets, it's actually much better, because you don't want to sit and wait for the next episode...
Something about his show. They NEVER show the kill as he felt it was not fitting for viewing. But they did show hunting...
But the camera work and amazing views were the gold in his TV presentations. Try watching some they are awesome.
This guy is literally a national treasure. Seriously when the sad day arrives when he is no longer with us, the UK will literally shut down and go into mourning he is that well loved and important
Oh, nonsense, Gavin. There will be considerable tributes to the great man, but it's hyperbole that 'the UK will literally shut down...etc'.
We won't literally shut down and go into mourning what are you talking about? I mean he's well liked by a lot of people but personally I don't know anybody who's ever even mentioned being a big fan of his. Other than a quick 'aw have you heard, David Attenborough has died?' 'oh no, shame' I can't imagine it'll affect many people's day more than that. We certainly won't shut down.
his birthday should become David Attenborough Day
I can only imagine what it is going to be like across the nation when he has passed. It won’t probably be as large as when Churchill left us but certainly pretty close.
I'd miss this guy more then the Queen.
As an aged Brit I thank you for your kind words regarding the storms. However, the US has a far greater amount of storms with alarming results, especially in loss of life of which us UK citizens ponder with such sadness.
David Attenborough is a truly remarkable person. My sons appreciated him way back in the 80's and I remember him from the 60's, a national treasure and legend.
His brother Richard was a well respected actor. He was in Jurassic Park film.
Richard Attenborough "Actor and Director".Directed "Ghandi".
@@markfisher8198 He directed quite a few well known films such as "Oh! What a Lovely War", "A Bridge Too Far", "Magic" and "Young Winston" and was a talented actor too appearing as the creepy young thug in "Brighton Rock", a murderer in "10 Rillington Place", a small boat captain operator in the original 1958 film "Dunkirk", a crewman in "In Which We Serve", one of the crash victims in "Flight of the Phoenix" and of course, as the kindly, if misguided, owner of "Jurassic Park".
I met Richard as a boy he fame to our school North field middle school back then as one of his ancestors was part of founding it he came in class room and chatted to each kid lovely man
Sadly some of his programmes were narrated by Oprah for the US market. Presumably as it was a known voice. But then (nothing against Oprah) it’s just someone reading a script whereas as with Attenborough you know he knows what he is saying and adds authority to it.
And unmeasurable passion
Agreed
David has been doing things like this for over 50 years, I remember him from way back when tv was in black-and-white.
I grew up with David Attenborough teaching me about the natural world on TV, so when I was privileged enough to take myself off on an African safari, and I was seeing wildebeest, warthogs, gazelles, elephant, zebra, ibex, lions etc with my own eyes, it was completely weird not hearing his voice in the background!
My husband was on the helicopter that filmed the whales on blue planet, he said it was an incredible sight, the crew of the HMS endurance are credited at the end.
What a wonderful experience for him!!
@@CEP73 yeah, I'm still jealous 😄
We wouldn't hate you for not having watched or known about something! 🤗 It's why we're here. To see you discover the stuff we grew up with or around, or are living in! Keep up the great reactions, and thanks for your concern about the weather. I've had my fingers crossed for 3 days for my kitchen roof and my drain pipe!! So far, so good! 🤞
Sir David is in his 90's now and recently presented The Green Planet on BBC1 which is stunning. An absolute legend.
Yes everyone here knows sir David our dogs favourite program. Barking at tigers and lions don't know what they would do if they met one. My favorite Attenborough clip is the hatching lizards and snakes to see the snakes outwitted.
The gorillas clip was astounding because at that time the public perception of them was that they were savage beasts. That programme, and the footage a few years later of Jambo at Jersey zoo protecting the boy who fell into the enclosure, helped pave the way to a new understanding of great apes.
My grandson wrote to Sir David for advice on how to become an oceanographer and received a hand written reply, on his own notepaper and from his home address.
What a wonderful man.
If you want to see more Sir David, I'd recommend as a starting point you watching (if you're able to) his 'Life On Earth' series, it's phenomenal and covers the history of life from the the very first single-cell animals up to the present day. Nothing had ever been made like it before, and all of his subsequent series are really more detailed spin-offs from it. I'd also recommend his autobiography 'Life On Air', which I have as an audiobook read by the great man himself (so if you love his voice you'll love to listen to that)!
I'd also recommend his series on fossils called "Lost Worlds, Vanished Lives". He was an avid fossil collector as a youngster.
Life on Earth on 4K is a magical experience.
I 2nd this recommendation. It was phenomenal and still better than almost anything else made since.
A lot of credit needs to go to the film crew in general for all of Attenborough's work but especially in Life on Earth. They were lugging heavy 70s equipment around rain forests, deserts, mountains, etc for years. They captured for the first time on film events that took such patience they make SAS scouts and snipers look like they have the attention span of a goldfish.
Attenborough's Life on Earth, Sagan's Cosmos and Bronowski's Ascent of Man. The documentaries all others aspire to.
Sir David's shows would never show an actual kill but they would show a lion attacking a zebra or whatever. Many times he shows the prey getting away. Sir David is someone everyone has been brought up with over here. National Treasure is an understatement. Am 55 he was well established before I was born
I'm the same age as you and some of my fondest memories of TV growing up were Sir David Attenborough and Jacques Cousteau TV shows.
I grew up watching Sir David Attenborough back in the 80's and even now. 40 years of watching him. I love the sea and watching life in the ocean.
Thank u both 4 your really kind thoughts. Love u guys too. 😁💕
The greatest thing about Sir David Attenborough is his ability to connect with people of all backgrounds and ages. He really is a national treasure, on par with Princess Diana and a good cup of English tea.
Sir David is amazing, simple as that x a national treasure indeed and a man of great knowledge
Grew up watching Sir David and you just know you are in for a treat when he comes TV! I could literally just watch him all day. The most recognisable voice on TV definitely in the UK. Well done girls another great video 😊
There are actually quite a lot of the older full programmes about Sir Dave's various earlier works/series' here on YT that have been put on to watch by the BBC, ladies . . . So you can actually find them on here just by typing his name into the search bar . . .
I'm 48 now and I grew up watching Sir Richard Attenborough documentary's growing up, BBC1. You really get mesmerized by them so much information and animals I'd never heard of then as a child but the education and emotion of his docs are wonderful, both of you would absolutely love them. You have decades' worth of documentaries to run through. And just Richard the man, he's truly a beautiful human being.
Sir Richard was the film director and actor, you refer to his brother Sir David.
I'm almost 64. I can clearly remember my cousin and I aged about 12 going into the wood behind our house pretending to be Gorillas and playing the part of Sir David Attenborough. David has been a constant in my life I've watched all his series. One of his latest The Blue Planet is amazing. Thankyou for your content always enjoyable to watch x
You missed two real treats as they're both long past now but Sir Patrick Moore and Tony Hart were on par with Attenborough in their respective fields! You should give them a look! Otherwise ladies another great video! Always feels like I'm right there with you having a brew and some toast 🙂
Patrick Moore used to write kids books that I loved and Tony Hart is someone we need now to inspire kids to pick up a pencil or anything you can make a mark with
There are grass snakes and adders in the Yorkshire dales although quite rare as there mainly found on the North Yorkshire Moors
The tortoise that Captain Cook brought to England in 1777, lived at London Zoo until 1966
Check out Clive of India's tortoise, Adwaita (1750 approx to 2006)...or Timothy, the oldest survivor of the Crimean war, a Royal Navy ship's tortoise who died in 2004 at a mere 160 years old...they are a remarkably long-lived order...
My favourite series of his was "the blue planet", funny story, some years ago a new arctic research vessel was commissioned and they ran a competition, in the UK, to name it, the winning suggestion was "Boaty McBoatface", but the powers that be didn't like that, so they named her the "sir David Attenborough", apparently Sir David preferred Boaty McBoatface.😂
Yes, I worked with the team who were responsible for commissioning and the naming of the research ship. The 'Sir David Attenborogh' was one of the suggested names and v. popular. The name 'Boaty Mcboatface' ended up being used (due to its popularity), and is one of the marine drones used and sent out from the ship to sample and record data in the ocean.
I occasionally saw Sir David and his brother Sir Richard as I lived near them in SW London (Richmond). Sir David often used to attend the rugby internationals in nearby Twickenham.
He made a whole series of "Life Of" programmes. One of the most unusual is "Life of Plants"
Oh yes, I loved 'Life of plants'
The late Steve Irwin said David Attenborough speaks like God!
I'm 70, and he's literally, just always been there - the premiere human ambassador fot the non-human world. A wonderful man, I once erected a marquee for some event to be held in his garden. He came out with a tray of tea and cakes for us workers. One of the truly good guys.
He's in his 90s so full respect to him for the work he does.
I was fortunate to meet him a few years ago even more impressive in real life.
My animal would be otters.
I doubt there are many Brits who have not watched hours and hours of Attenborough. He has had so many hit series exploring wildlife it's amazing that he finds new ways to show the wonders of nature.
Grow up watching Sir David, he has such a special way with animals. Loved watching your reaction ladies. X
He also did a QandA with Prince William's and Kate's, children. It was so sweet. Charlotte loves spiders. Each to their own. 😂🇬🇧
With a name like Charlotte, maybe she was destined to like spiders :)
So good you've found him at last. If you haven't grown up with Sir David you've had a deprived childhood. :-D If anyone doesn't believe in climate change - forget the scientists - point them towards Sir David.
Exactly ! It’s scary 😟 I’m in my 50s and our weather here in England 🏴 has never been this crazy !
@@tabitha4135 Remember when it snowed in June! :-)
Thank you for caring so much about people in the UK. It's greatly appreciated.
David Attenborough has always been my hero. The first book i ever owned was 'life on Earth' I've still got it and I'll treasure it ALWAYS. His voice is the most calming sound ever!!
Nearly everything he's made has been outstanding but something that comes to mind is the iguana being chased by racer snakes.
Sir David Attenborough is 98 years old, and still making amazing programmes.💚💚💚
If you can find it there's footage of him in the '50's meeting a tribe in Borneo -they had never seen a white man, and about a hundred of them charged down a hill at him waving clubs and spears,
he just walked up to them ,held out his hand and said "how do you do?" they all stopped dead in their tracks! Also in the fifties he was the first person to film Komodo dragons- he and a cameraman started out form England with no idea how to get there- among other things they had to hitch a ride with gun runners across the South seas but they made it - a brave man!
Sir David Attenboroughs brother was Sir Richard Attenborough,a famous film director and actor. He was in a couple Jurassic park films, but has appeared in many British films. Both brothers are very well known
Sadly Richard has since passed away. Two great men.
Thank you again ladies for a great video interspersed with lovely endearing comments from you both.
There are a few points of consistency in my life and Sir David Attenborough is one of them.
He is an amazing ambassador for the natural world.
The clocks wil stop in the UK 🇬🇧 when he takes his final bow.
Just watched this again and I love it. I've watched Attenborough's videos since the early 1960s. He is now 97 and still very active. His Brother was also very talented as a film actor and director, you may recognise Richard as the actor who played the director of the Park Headquarters in Jurassic Park (the original film). They Hail from Leicester in Leicester near where I live and I'm houred by their very existance.
I told you that once you watched him, that once would not be enough. I have watched him all my life and still think that he is amazing. Just love relearning him from your reaction. He is just such a special person. Oh just heard another special British person, the queen has just tested positive for covid. Fingers crossed that she will be ok.
Thankyou for your concern . I always feel more sorry for America because we get a bad storm now and again but you get horrendous weather ,Though i live on the coast in Cumbria we had 70 m.p.h. but i hear the Isle of White had a record 122 m.p.h. i will not complain .
Our national treasure is 96 on the 8th May. I'm hoping he's one of the rare individuals that will make it to his 100th birthday. Sir Davud does such amazing work and I'm glad that you ladies are enjoying him as much as we have over the years.
I've grown up watching him, feels like whenever he had a new documentary or show the family would always record it when it was on tv. I would probably say I would love to see orangutans, giraffes or elephants. Organgutans because I loved jungle book as a kid so I also tend to gravitate towards them when we used to go to zoo's. Giraffes and elephants because when I was a very young child we would go on holiday every sumner to a caravan park in a small town called Brixham which is in Devon. There was a local zoo named Paignton and I would make my family take me there for a day trip every year we went on holiday. One of the enclosures had a family of elephants and giraffes living close together. They all had names and it was always so exciting to see when new babies arrived. I remember a few years back we hadn't gone for so many years because we couldn't afford it, and it was the 1st time we had been there in about 6 -7 years. There had been an electrical problem with the giraffes side of the enclosure and it caused a fire which injured and killed both the giraffe and elephant families and I remember being so devasted once I had found out that these families of animals that j had felt like I had grown up with had just suddenly disappeared. And I cried at their memorial plaque that the zoo had for both families. So because of the lovely childhood memories I had of these animals I would choose them as well. 💖
Sir David comes from an amazing family. His older brother Dickie (Lord Richard Attenborough) was the billionaire park creator Hammond in "Jurassic Park".
His greatest achievement was directing the film ‘Gandhi’!
And directing a lot of other great films, one of my fav A Bridge to Far.
My sister and her friend met Sir David at the Eurostar terminal. He noticed that they had spotted him and spoke to them. My sister’s friend is a biology teacher and she told him that she used watching clips of his programmes as a reward for her pupils. He was thrilled to hear that, which was so charming.
I'm 71 and I have grown up with David Attenborough as a part of my life since I was six years old in 1957.
To us brits Sir David Attenborough is a national treasure and a amazing man it will be a very sad day when he passes on if i was to recommend a show it would be all of them every single one lol he aint done a bad thing
I drowned myself in all his documentaries when I was younger and its thanks to him I love all animals and I always rescue them my dog bella is rescued and I even help the wildlife around here if there injured or anything . I've always wanted to do that because the best way to overcome your fears is to face them xx
In addition to his natural history work, he was controller of BBC2 in the late 60s and commissioned two very highly regarded documentary series, one on the arts, "Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark" and one on the sciences, Jacob Bronowski's "The Ascent of Man". Plus "Monty Pythons Flying Circus", of course.
I think Alistair Cooke's "America" was also one of the series he commissioned
I was fortunate to be in a restaurant in Bristol not so many years ago when Sir David walked in. He wasn't walking very easily and looking his age, slightly stooping. As he approached his table of about 8 ladies he stood up straight, the twinkle in his eye appeared, and he said, " good evening" - and 'everyone' in the restaurant melted.
The man is incredible, more than a presenter, truly a Broadcaster. He's time "running" BBC2, introducing colour tv to the UK and numerous other fundamental elements of BBC history.
Yes many do not realise that fact.
@@eyesofisabelofficial Truth be told, neither did I [fully] until I bought his 'Life on Air: Memoirs of a Broadcaster'. Having his voice telling his story is something I treasure.
He once was in a huge cave in South East Asia ,I think, which had tens of thousands of bats. The bat droppings formed a huge mound tens of meters high and the whole surface was LITERALLY covered in many thousands of cockroaches. He walked up to the top of the mound through all the cockroaches, in the dark with a torch, and having to breath with a respirator because of the amonia in the air from the droppings! Who else would have done that?
Sir David was born in 1926, so he's 96 now. His brother was the actor/director Richard Attenborough. I love watching everything he does.
Nice to see you two keep up the good work. Love and peace from Wolverhampton England
When my brother and I were children here in England we were bought up watching Sir David Attenborough, mum, dad my brother and myself were bought up as lovers of the Animal kingdom. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Every time his name trends on Twitter, every subsequent post is relief he’s okay and an entreaty to Twitter to stop frightening us. I met him when I was a child. He was everything you’d hope for and more. A truly lovely man.
He makes nature so interesting - one of the leading authority on climate change and nature plus endless items…
I cannot believe that the Lyre Bird from life of birds was not included, it is availanle on youtube and is a must see
David Attenborough & Jacques Cousteau jointly made me aware of nature & our planet.
Hi both - I've just discovered you on TH-cam and you're both awesome! I'm in the UK _ we live on the beautiful south coast, in Dorset. It's so lovely to hear your views/insights. Sir David is definitely a national treasure and an inspiration to so many. Legend is one of those descriptions that very few people deserve, but he is one of those people. Hope all is well with you both and you're looking forward to watching the Jubilee celebrations which are just around the corner! All the best, Nicola
Sir David's voice is the perfect Sunday afternoon chill tv voice. He's worked for the BBC forever.
I too also get upset when i'm confronted with the circle of life but you should probably check out Blue Planet, it's all underwater and less traumatic than some.
Hi Natasha & Debbie , The Green planet is the latest material out there atm and have nearly watched all of them so far ^ AWESOME " this man never fails to deliver he 's an inspiration to all . I had a quick look to see what's available and found lots as you can imagine . just typing in his name brought up so many hits . One fun one for your own pleasure is with a title search . Attenborough: the amazing Lyre Bird sings like a chainsaw! Now in high quality | BBC Earth . Enjoy . Love to you both . Many thanks for your best wishes for us regarding the storms .
Strongly recommend watching: Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Life, Frozen Planet, Planet Earth II, Blue Planet II, and The Green Planet.
All of his stuff is brilliant. I saw one show he did where he went inside an old volcano (forget where it was) and there was millions of unknown and never before seen creatures and animals that had grew and evolved away from the rest of the world. Totally unique. THAT was unbelievable. Love this guy.
As great as his voice is he also knows when to let the footage speak for itself. If you look up "iguana Vs snakes" from the Planet Earth II series, more drama and emotion than you'd get in the best Hollywood movies with minimal narration from sir David
When you point out the footage speaking for itself, it's well worth watching the follow ups after the actual documentary episodes, how they manage to get such amazing footage, usually in the back end of nowhere
Wow" yes, there was so much tension in that footage, the snakes were so swift - would the iguana escape.....?
Multiple snakes in pursuit of iguana is one of the most heart-stopping pieces of film I have ever seen. I doubt if any director of horror films could come up with something so frightening and dramatic, all in broad daylight. The girls will, if they have not seen it will be glad to know that the iguana won the day. Wonderful as Sir David is, we should not forget the members, and particularly the cameramen and women, of the BBC Natural History Unit, who provided such amazing backup, logistics and footage for these programmes. In straightened times, long may they persist.
I am awed by this program!!! Sir David Attenborough is truly a treasure! I enjoyed this so much!! Oh, I would choose to go visit...hmmm, too hard to decide! But maybe the penguin species in the different places! GREAT SHOW!!!
You two are so sweet !! How thoughtful of you to think of us during this miserable winter, it means a lot, thank you ! As for Sir A, where do we start ?????? what about the Elephant bird egg he rebuilt ??? His many dinosaur shows ? Or the fact he set up the BBC2 television channel ? Or dare I mention the " Boaty Mc boatface" incident ? lol So much to look into !!! What a life !! Keep up the good work !! x x
I bought Attenborough's Planet Earth on Blu-Ray when it first came out and remember being blown away by the footage they'd caught. I still watch the Birds of Paradise episode every now and then because it is so good. Excellent video choice girls, as always.
Hi Ladies, Sir David has been a part of my life for all my life. His ability to communicate the, often complex, interactions between people and nature has done more to create environmental awareness than anyone else I can think of. His back-catalog is huge so you're in for a real treat for quite a long time. Most of the BBC content is available on DVD. Enjoy !
You two are so lovely. 😊 Great video as always. xx
Thank you for your kind words. Thankfully I am lucky enough to have just found the storm a nuisance. So sad when you read about people losing their homes or even lives. Sir David is indeed a national treasure, his obvious passion is infectious and his voice is like a warm hug on a cold winter day. Richard Briers had a similar lovely voice. You should check out 'The Good Life' sometime.
Hi ladies, great stuff as usual. Let me put this in perspective you will get, Sir David is to nature what Freddie was to rock frontmen, the absolute best in the world. Suggestion, and I haven't checked availability so maybe pot luck, the BBC does a series called Springwatch, where presenters set up cameras in woods, on lakes etc and record many species of British wild life. I'm certain you would find these entertaining and instructional, from deer rutting in Scotland, to badgers in the Cotswolds.
Thanks guys :) the storm is pretty bad near me now, haven’t been outside in 2 days 😞❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️
Sir David taught me far more about the natural world since the early 70s, than any damn teacher at school did.
For me, one of the most memorable David Attenborough episodes was when he visited a cave that was home to Bats. There was a 10 foot pile of bat guano which was covered in thousands of bugs. A true professional, Sir David braved the bugs in order to climb the heap to get a closer look at the Bats, the smell of ammonia was almost overpowering and yet, Sir David kept commentating, even though you could hear the effects of the powerful smell in his voice. Now that is commitment!
If I remember rightly he was also dispelling the myth that bats are blind and won't fly into you and get caught in your hair just as a bat flew into his hair.
What many people forget is that David Attenborough was Controller of the BBC2 channel from 1965, where he introduced Chronicle(a history/archaeology programme), The Old Grey Whistle test (an up-market rock music programme), Snooker, Civilisation (a history of western art), the Ascent of Man (about the development of society through science) and, of course, Life on Earth. Although he is the 'star' of his programmes he mucks in with the crew, and one of his main side-jobs was carrying the havy Nagra tape recorder through jungle, swamp, and over alp.
Thank you for your comments on Eunice, nothing in comparison to the storms you guys have but there have been thousands left with damaged homes over the weekend.
A few years back I was staying with family at a holiday resort. It was about 2 am and I was out having a cigarette. A badger came and lay near me for a good 20 minutes(I put out and disposed of my cigarette safely as soon as it came up to me). Was a very surreal but amazing experience. I know they aren't rare and I'm sure it's common for a lot of people to see them often. But for me it was totally unexpected and the badger was incredibly trusting and gentle. It was just really incredible. If I could pick any animal to see in the wild though, I'd pick a sloth, just super chill dudes.
Just subscribed after seeing some of your videos. Very entertaining. If there is a US equivalent of Sir David Attenborough’s decades of wildlife shows it’s surely the National Geographic programmes. Both instrumental in showing us nature in all its beautiful splendid and sometimes horrific destruction.
We only had Nat geo when sky became mainstream.
Sir David Attenborough has been involved in animal welfare for - well what seems forever - at least 70 years and maybe more and he is a true icon. We all hope you like it
Many thanks for your Kind words regarding the Inclement weather that we have been experiencing Lady`s, it`s much appreciated. Sir David is a real champion of animal preservation and the taking care of our environment in general and we hope to enjoy his work, for a long time to come. There is an hour long documentary about the last clip that you showed, about The Mountain Gorillas, I am sure you will enjoy it. His Brother Richard is equally noted for his role in some of our classic films, the original Flight of The Phoenix being one of them.
Forget your rockstars, footballers , actors etc, my dad and Sir David Attenborough are my all time heroes 👍❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Recently In addition to the main program of a series, immediately following each program they have broadcast a short piece entitled 'the making of the *program*. (*Insert series title) ' These give an insight into how much dedication the people doing the filming have.
The one thing that peed me off was the American TV substituting Sir D A's commentary with a voiceover by Oprah.
I could watch Sir David Attenborough all day he has a soothing voice. The best dog movie for me was Hatchie omg how i cried watching this true story of such a loving dog. The animal i would choose is Wolves. Sending love from the Uk England
Production quality of all his series were just outstanding! He has pretty much dominated with his documentaries of the natural world for 50+ years. I'm a dog person, but I loved the ones with the big cats!
He is simple a National Treasure his documentaries are amazing. You'll love him to X.
Thank you so much, dear ladies, for your kind and thoughtful words about the storms. When you think that there are 65 million of us packed into
quite a small area, we should be grateful to have got away so lightly. If I could pick an animal to spend time with it would have to be a sloth. Three-toed
or five, it doesn't matter which, they appeal because they live life at my kind of pace! With love and thanks............................the ancient Englishman.
Natasha, for your own sake, don’t watch his programmes on chimpanzees. They are very graphic and show a side to them that you will never get out of your head (in a bad way). I don’t want either of you to be scarred by those episodes. He always gives the good and bad side to wildlife.
He is not just a national treasure in the UK he is an institution, an extensive body of work studying all forms of wildlife, the oceans, the natural work, even a show called Walking with Dinosaurs.You have over 60 years of his TV work to take your pick of, you would not be disappointed.
His older brother was Richard Attenborough who passed away in 2014, who was an actor and and Oscar winning director and his body of work included the movie Gahndi and also acted in the original Jurassic Park movie.
I love David Attenborough so much, definitely a national treasure :) I have a weird animal that i've always wanted to see in its natural habitat, the Bali Starling. I've seen them at a local zoo, but i studied them when we all had to study a specific critically endangered animal, and since that study i've just always wanted to see them. At least i've managed to see them in the zoo, but one day i will get to Bali :P
Loving your enthusiasm guys, thanks for the vids!
Hi guys great video 👍 I always look forward to new episodes so please keep them coming. I am really glad I came across your channel when you started doing this, unfortunately I lost my dad in September so things have been tough. If I am having a bad day you two never fail to cheer me up. Thank you 💕💕💕
Sir David is a national treasure we have all grown up watching him. If i could spend my time with any animal it would be an Orca or a Leopard.
He’s definitely ours (British) . He’s the most influential person in the 20/21st century. He’s just irreplaceable. When he’s gone, the UK will morn him.
I recommend you watch the iguana scene, available on youtube
We were right in the middle of Eunice but luckily we had pretty much no real damage or injury. My wife is an A&E nurse in South Wales, and certainly where she worked (fortunately she wasn't actually working at the time!) there was quite a lot of damage to the minor injuries unit, and trees falling on cars in the car-park.
If I was brave enough, my choice would be Tigers 🐯
You are honestly in for hours & hours of incredible TV now you've discovered our Sir David ! xx 🇬🇧
Thank you for your kind comments about the storms. At least we don’t suffer the hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, earthquakes and volcanoes that the US does.
I wish that all Americans were as gracious about the UK as you two girls.
I love your chemistry. One minute you’re supporting one another, the next you’re taking the mickey out of each their the way that besties do that leads me to suspect that you are more than just friends but that is none of my business.
Love, hugs and kisses from The Old Country. Hope you come to visit soon.
