David Attenborough's Wild Isles
Discussion
It's gonna be Ace. Should be better than the Stephen Fry dinosaur thing which was ok but a little bit meh. Agree with the preachy thing, also the bit at the end they've been doing on his last few series' where they've shown how it's made. It's a bit 'this is where you're license money goes'. Looking forward to it though.

Yeah looks good, but I'm hopeful he keeps the preaching to a minimum. It's spoiled the most recent stuff he's done for me, and yes, I do get it needs to be highlighted.
Fat chance of that, they were plugging it on the news today but not by the entertainment reporter but by the chief climate change reporter. That probably gives you an indication of how they plan to pitch this.jurbie said:

That’s why I won’t bother with it, someone spent their entire life flying to the four corners of the world with a huge film crew in tow telling us to save the planet.Do as I say not as I do. Nature should be left alone.

If someone with his ability and knowledge of such key issues didn't travel the world and let millions of us see what is out there then we probably wouldn't be so concerned to help wherever we can.
For someone who is now 96 - and has contributed to so many quality documentarlies, for decades - I think he deserves considerable applause, not criticism.

He is the person that I would listen to the most when it comes to climate change and the effect on the planet/ ecosystems etc. He has lived it first hand for many many years and nothing about what he is saying is anecdotal, it's his actual experience of what's happening.Promised Land said:

“All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people, and harder — and ultimately impossible — to solve with ever more people.”Do as I say not as I do. Nature should be left alone.
Says father of two and Grandfather of a few more Sir David Attenborough, Population Matters patron.
I've just watched the final one and it's a mystery to me why it was only on iPlayer. It was a bit different from the other 5 but presented as a straightforward documentary with Attenborough doing the voiceover as normal. I've heard the explanation about WWF and RSPB, but as I say, a mystery.
