Attenborough is back!

Watched the programme, thought it was absolutely fantastic. 

Ian, you think Attenborough should be replaced, any suggestions by who?

I'd have a crack at it.......for the same money, of course 

Join the queue, Ian!

Well, I reckon that I could wear an anorak and stand in front of a blue screen, with a view of mountains or the arctic projected onto it.

Seriously, the work of the camera crews etc for this programme is seriously impressive. A shame that this old presenter takes the credit away from them.

For me the commentary compliments the fantastic filming and I cannot think of any other presenter who could do the job as good.

Agreed. Of course, it depends what you like but, for me, Attenborough gives these programmes the gravitas and dignity which makes them compulsive viewing. 

In much the same way that Chris Packham et al give Autumnwatch the light hearted, dip in from time to time, effect which makes them entertaining.

Both are head and shoulders above so much of the other tripe regularly dished up on our screens ( just take a look at ITV's schedule tonight!) 

I thought last night's programme was the best yet in the series. 

Absolutely stunning filming.

Agree Pliers, I found it gripping  at times. I think we tend to take the series for granted in a way, as its expected to enthrall every time. The fact that it does just goes to show how good it is.....
