Sir David Attenborough is Britain's best-known natural history film-maker. He is also Britain's most respected and lauded natural history broadcaster and writer, championing conservation and standing at the forefront of issues concerning the planet's declining species. This title tells us of his experiences of filming in the 21st century.
David Attenborough’s Life on Air is the elegantly told tale of one of the most influential, admired and best-liked figures in television by the man himself. When, aged 26, Attenborough applied for a job with BBC Radio he was unceremoniously turned down. Had someone not seen his rejected application and wondered whether or not the enthusiastic young man might like to try the medium of television, the course of natural history broadcasting, not to mention a good many other genres, would have been completely different and significantly poorer. The rest, as they say, is history - and sixty years on Attenborough’s familiar voice and contagious curiosity about the world around him continues to inspire generation after generation.
