Sir David Attenborough is Britain's best-known natural history film-maker. His career as a naturalist and broadcaster has spanned nearly five decades and there are very few places on the globe that he has not visited.
Over the last 25 years he has established himself as the world's leading natural history programme maker with several landmark BBC series, including: Life on Earth (1979), The Living Planet (1984), The Trials of Life (1990), The Private Life of Plants (1995), The Life of Birds (1998), The Life of Mammals (2002) and Life in the Undergrowth (2005).
‘The final chapter in the Life series, Life in Cold Blood is surely a grand finale to David’s survey of life on earth.‘
David Attenborough has just finished presenting his Frozen Planet series on BBC, you can still catch episodes from the BBC website using their IPlayer. You can see the link at the top of the page. Quite poignant and always very absorbing.
It is particularly powerful to see how nature has created creatures that have the ability to evolve in such a way that they can (just about) exist in the most extremely cold environments on the earth. Would recommend series DVD set as a stocking stuffer.
