The Attenborough Effect: 97-Year-Old Presenter Has Already Begun Filming Planet Earth Series 3
Deadline ^ | 9.2.2023 | Caroline Frost

At the age of 97, David Attenborough could be forgiven for wanting to put his feet up in front of the fire. Instead, the 97-year-old revered presenter has signed up to present the third series of Planet Earth.

The Guardian newspaper reports that Attenborough has already begun filming the new series of the BBC’s award-winning natural history programme, expected to air later this year on BBC One.

The show’s executive producer, Mike Gunton, told The Guardian: “Planet Earth wouldn’t be Planet Earth without David, so I’m delighted he is presenting the third series. As ever, he has brought his huge enthusiasm and wisdom, has been encouraging about our new perspective and has, I know, really enjoyed seeing the extraordinary new wonders brought to the screen.”

David Attenborough is the ultimate narrator. He can sound good reading the phone book of old.

Excellent news. I was glued to the screen for his earlier series on nature.

PBS reran one of his hourlong shows the other night. Now I know why. As for being 97, good on him. May he survive well into his 100s and thrive.

David Attenborough stated he thought there was no global warming and he soon found he was not able to get a job hosting anymore. He switched and has continued to host shows.

I saw one of his latest shows. He’s past it. He’s not the Attenborough we’ve come to appreciate. It was distracting to me.

‘Civilization’ by Kenneth Clarke was greenlit by Attenbaurgh. After complaints he then greenlit ‘The Ascent of Man’ which was also excellent.

Very true, the old bastard is in the tradition of the atheist socialists of the early 20th century.
