Planet Earth II

[RSM Masser]

Just watched this in HD and can't wait for the rest of the series. Just what are going to do when David Attenborough finally passes on - what an amazing life that man has had, moreover what an amazing influence he has had on millions of people. He is a true legend and inspiration for so many.

Like many I do not remember a time of BDA, before David Attenborough! I used to relish the Sunday nights when his natural world programs where on and still watch them now on the TV, they haven't aged at all.

I wonder just who will succeed him and give the amazement of the natural world to so many.

Forgot about that one. He is a pretty unique character. You wonder how they will be replaced but I guess they do. I'm sure we thought that about Murray Walker but nobody or nothing lasts for ever. He is certainly a tough act to follow. So many years of experience & knowledge. At least he has passed it on to many people in many ways.

One of the things BBC does best and having David Attenborough certainly helps.

Think I mentioned before Attenborough is now the top seller for BBC World Service and it generates a lot of cash.
The problem for the World Service though is they have lost Top Gear and Attenborough is no longer a spring chicken.
Mind you i wish he would keep his views on Brexit to himself (Oh don't start that again!)

Most of the credit should go to the film crews. I spent a lot of the programme trying to work out how they filmed some of it. The diaries bit at the end is fascinating - they go through a lot to get the footage.
