Wild Isles

No problem with that, HD, I was just trying to provide a bit of context. Incidentally,  did you miss the feature on the programme on the BBC morning news, where they featured two of the camera persons who contributed to the programme? (Simon King was one of them). I think it's pretty clear that everyone involved in the making of series such as these does get equal credit. 

I agree M & Sir David Attenborough is a personal friend to most of his Camera operators/videographers. In a lot of his epic programmes he eulogises their expertise & out & out skills, it was made a feature in some of them. He is so not a me,me,me person👍🏻

What on earth has he done or said to be viewed so, Husky? He certainly did put those hard hours, weeks, years in as both a very young man and in later years to support the cause. Much of what he ‘warned’ us about over the many decades has unfortunately come to pass. At his ripe old age he deserves to be cared for as an ambassador to the cause! Just my opinion but I’m sure I’m backed by the majority of the world’s population in this view?

David Attenborough has always been much, much more than a presenter of Natural History programmes. It’s mainly thanks to him that BBC2 became as popular and mainstream as it did, and he commissioned some of the greatest and most memorable programmes that it ever broadcast.

At 96, having had a pacemaker and two knee replacements fitted, it’s remarkable that he is still as involved in programme making as he is, and even if he isn’t as out there as he used to be, he still deserves every accolade that comes his way. A truly remarkable broadcaster. If ever anyone deserved a space in Westminster Abbey, along with with Newton and other great scientists/explorers, he is worthy of one. He’s an activist as well, not afraid to show things how they are, and what is going wrong.

I’ve only just heard about this nonsense. It seems that those connected with sport and nature are incompatible with freedom of speech! What is happening in our world. My opinion is that I’m appalled!

I’d love to have an interesting friendly conversation with you Micky, around this and the other misguided shenanigans, but there’s absolutely no way it would be tolerated on this forum sadly. The World needs more people like DA, working to raise awareness of what’s going on👍 

Yes, funny how GLs vociferous comments about the regime those hosting the recent World Cup but his latest comments are drawing such attention from some. Seems some issues are okay others not to be mentioned!

Not my finest post, meant to say~

Yes, funny how GLs vociferous condemnation of that regime which hosted the recent World Cup did not cause such issue but his latest comments are drawing so much attention. Seems some issues are okay with the powers that be whilst others are not even to be hinted at! Sound like hypocrisy and gagging to me. Not dissimilar to another regime which is bordering on Europe today. 

I agree, micky. It seems absolutely ridiculous to me that the powers that be at BBC seem to think we are so dim that we can't distinguish between watching GL present MOTD and reading/ignoring his tweets on non sporting matters. 

I rather enjoyed see the football without people talking over it however a wild life programme without comments from a presenter explaining things might be harder to understand. But I hear a lot of youngsters watch programmes with the subtitles on and the sound off nowadays so this says something about the way things are going?!
