Follow David Attenboroughâ it's freeWelcome back to My 70s TV Childhood! This week, I'm celebrating the 100th birthday of a broadcasting icon, a true national treasure, and seemingly a wonderful man. Sir David Attenborough turns 100, and I'm looking back at his extraordinary life, his career, and in particular, the landmark 1979 series that changed television and changed our relationship with the natural world: Life on Earth. But first, I have some exciting news about our My 70s TV Childhood theme tune quiz game.

Register your interest at: https://www.my70stvchildhood.com đŹ What to Expect: A Century of Curiosity: I trace David Attenborough's remarkable life from a boy collecting fossils in Leicester to the most trusted voice in British broadcasting, via a stint as one of the BBC's most powerful executives. Zoo Quest and the Accidental Presenter: How Attenborough was never meant to be on camera, stepped in when the regular presenter fell ill, and changed television history. The Making of Life on Earth: The extraordinary story behind the 1979 series, from the BBC's financial gamble to the three years of filming across dozens of countries with heavy equipment, no digital technology, and no way of checking footage until the film was developed. The Mountain Gorillas: I revisit one of the most iconic moments in television history, Attenborough sitting quietly amongst the gorillas of Rwanda in a scene of astonishing tenderness that changed how we saw these animals forever. Britain in the Late 1970s: I look at what Britain was like when Life on Earth aired, with only three television channels, no streaming, and a country that watched together, and how the series arrived at precisely the right moment. A Legacy of Wonder: How Life on Earth paved the way for every landmark nature documentary that followed, and why David Attenborough's curiosity, humility, and quiet authority have made him one of the great communicators in British cultural history.

pWotD Episode 3293: David Attenborough Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today. With 788,980 views on Friday, 8 May 2026 our article of the day is David Attenborough. Sir David Frederick Attenborough (; born 8 May 1926) is an English broadcaster, natural historian, conservationist, writer, producer and narrator. His presenting career began as host of Zoo Quest in 1954, and has spanned eight decades; it includes the nine documentary series forming The Life Collection, Natural World, Wildlife on One, the Planet Earth franchise, The Blue Planet and Frozen Planet. He is the only person to have won BAFTA Awards in black-and-white, colour, high-definition, 3D and 4K resolution. Over his life, he has collected dozens of honorary degrees and awards, including three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Narrator and one Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Daytime Personality â Non-Daily. Attenborough was a senior manager at the BBC, working as controller of BBC Two and director of programming for BBC Television in the 1960s and 1970s. While his earlier work focused primarily on the natural world, his later work has been more vocal in support of environmental causes. He has advocated for restoring planetary biodiversity, limiting population growth, switching to renewable energy, mitigating climate change, reducing meat consumption and setting aside more areas for natural preservation. On his broadcasting and passion for nature, NPR stated that Attenborough "roamed the globe and shared his discoveries and enthusiasms with his patented semi-whisper way of narrating". He is widely considered a national treasure in the UK, though he does not embrace the term. This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:01 UTC on Saturday, 9 May 2026.

Vater der Naturdokus: Zum 100. Geburtstag von David Attenborough (geb. am 8.5.1926) blickt das Zeitzeichen auf ein Jahrhundert Staunen und Mahnen im Zeichen der Natur. In diesem Zeitzeichen erzĂ€hlt Anne Preger: von exotischen GĂ€sten im Hause Attenborough und dem Attenborosaurus, wie sich wilde Orte im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte verĂ€ndert haben, was Attenborough mit dem Comedy-Programm Monty Python's Flying Circus zu tun hat. Kaum ein Mensch hat so viele wilde Orte auf der Erde gesehen wie David Attenborough . Der am 8. Mai 1926 geborene jĂŒngere Bruder von "Gandhi"-Regisseur Richard Attenborough interessiert sich von klein auf fĂŒr Lebewesen aus allen Erdzeitaltern. Mit 26 Jahren beginnt er seine Laufbahn beim noch jungen BBC -Fernsehen. Seitdem ist Attenborough als PrĂ€sentator, Produzent und ErzĂ€hler von Dokumentarfilmen aus dem britischen TV nicht wegzudenken. Auch in seinem 100. Lebensjahr steht er noch vor der Kamera. Seine Begeisterung ist ansteckend, egal ob er halb flĂŒsternd die BalztĂ€nze von Paradiesvögeln in Papua-Neuguinea beschreibt oder die Jagdstrategie von Schimpansen in Westafrika. David Attenborough hat Naturfilme groĂ gemacht. Und sie ihn. FĂŒr viele Briten ist er ein lebendes nationales Kulturgut.

Today, we compare two different approaches to advancing the environmental cause from two vegan giants: Jane Goodall and David Attenborough. CORRECTION: David Attenborough is not vegan. "(...) though he has significantly reduced his meat consumption for environmental reasons and recommends plant-based diets. He no longer eats red meat and consumes cheese and fish, a decision he has called a "middle-class hypocrisy" given his public advocacy." Both have released documentaries focused on the climate crisis, animal welfare, and their personal journeys into activism. Jane Goodall's documentary, The Hope , is available on YouTube. David Attenborough's A Life on Our Planet , is on Netflix. Youâll find the links in the episode notes. To discuss this topic, Iâm joined by the amazing Alex Ventimilla Sanchez, professor in the Department of English & Film Studies at the University of Alberta. We talked about the stereotype of the Ecological Indian, the apocalyptic predictions environmentalists love to make, the collapse of humanity's birthrates, the role of plant-based diets and animal welfare in the environmental cause, and much more.
