He wouldn’t be missed by me. I wouldn’t mind his air miles though.

I wonder what box ticking nonentity the Beeb has picked to replace him.

Hamza has been prepped since last year, but I think that Bill Bailey should get the gig... when that sad day comes.

O/T I’ve always liked Gordon Buchanan. For a while it looked like the beeb were lining him up as an Attenborough replacement, but not so many of his programs of late.

[scenario8]

Remaining off topic, sorry, but there are definitely signs the BBC have been happy to continue pushing Chris Packham further into the mainstream and the limelight. It will be interesting to see if that trend continues as he’s certainly “marmite” and conceivably may become a bit of a hot potato as he doesn’t shy away from contentious political opinion.

There was a recent thread on him in these pages.

There have been quite a few over the years.

I suspect no one character would “replace” David Attenborough.

[CoolHands]

Attenborough will be deified by the beeb when he keels over

[Eric Mc]

He does a lot for Sky these days too.

That's about as amusing as those strokers that post a 'who is Ed Sheeran' question, trying to hint that they're far too cool for modern cultural references, without realising that everyone reading it thinks 'knob'.

That's a bit shocking. Sounds a bit like what happened to Denny Hulme back in 1992. He was 56 at the time and suffered a heart attack during a race.

At least they were both doing something they loved.
