>>220374782May God save him and all his good works.
>>220374796holy shit go to exactly the 1 hour 7 minute mark and watch the next 45 seconds
>>220374782I think the nature documentary stuff (which is good) overshadows his more important achievements as a producer for the BBC. Attenborough was the driving force behind Civillisation by Kenneth Clark, the greatest documentary EVER made, and it changed how television was made forever.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilisation_(TV_series)
>>220374897The companion book is also very good
>>220374897I've never heard of this but I can't doubt your words, I'll go check it out
>>220374801Kek
>>220374897That’s fucking amazing.
>>220374796fpbp
>>220374897As Controller of BBC2 he commissioned:Monty Python's Flying CircusCivilisation (presented by Kenneth Clark)The Old Grey Whistle Test, Match of the Day, The Money Programme, Pot Black (which introduced snooker to showcase colour TV) The World About Us (1969–1982) Attenborough commissioned Jacob Bronowski's Ascent of Man, which, along was a big influence on Carl Sagan's Cosmos.Basically, without Attenborough there would be no Cosmos.
>>220374782Did he get a letter from the King?
>>220374897Don't forget snooker, and tennis balls are yellow because of him.
>>220374897>There have been complaints in recent times that by focusing on a traditional choice of the great artists over the centuries – all men – Clark had neglected women,[15] and presented "a saga of noble names and sublime objects with little regard for the shaping forces of economics or practical politics".[16]
>>220374832haha
I agree with Hans Zimmer, we need David for another 100 years.
>>220374897I saw this long ago, don't remember much. Looks like they go from the fall of Rome straight to the 12th century then forward. huh. No le Dark Ages.
>>220375921Ascent of Man was also incredible yes>>220376107It's the fall of Rome that he only spends 5 minutes on, and then most of the first episode deals with the dark ages. He focuses on the Vikings and the monks who copied manuscripts and created art like the Book of Kells, and then Charlemagne who was responsible for uniting Europe and preserving many books from antiquity by having people copy themBut then the second episode starts from the 12th century renaissance and that's where the series gets really good imoHe focuses more on what he thinks is important rather than spreading through time evenly. So there are like 4 episodes on the Italian renaissance and the Rome of the Popes, etc
>>220374796thread about david attenborough? nah, thread about /pol/ ai slop. yeah, everyone hates jeets, can you keep it to yourself for one fucking thread out of respect for the man?
>>220376513>thread about david attenborough? nah, thread about /pol/ ai slop. yeah, everyone hates jeets, can you keep it to yourself for one fucking thread out of respect for the man?
>>220374782the fuck. he looks really good for being 100
>>220376628He's still working and narrating nature shows.
>>220374782>want to watch nature documentary>HUMANS HUMANS HUMANS HUMANS HUMANShe's unwatchable
>>220376960>>HUMANS HUMANS HUMANS HUMANS HUMANSSomething you're not.
>>220374782He is based as fuck and it'll be impossible to replace him
He's important but also hysterical like a woman about certain subjects. Any early 20th century ecologist is more profound and far more important than him. However he no doubt helped to capture some of the best footage of the planet in history, and there is value in that. He's mediocre of evolution but Life on Earth will retain its importance long after he's gone.
Isnt it nuts that if you make it to 100 you've been an old person longer than were ever a young person? Go back 50 years and he was already an old man, and whats the point of even living that long if for the last 30 years youve pratically been a feeble old man that cant even fuck or do fun things?
>>220374796What a legend
>>220374782No good Bolshie BBC sodomite
>>220376954Still as true as the day it was written, why are burgers like this?
>>220377709You didn't do anything interesting in your 20s and wasted your youth.
It's gonna be hard to see him go one day.Always loved nature documentaries.As a kid watching with my dad, and still watching new and old ones by myself and hearing that familiar voice. It'll be sad when I just hear AI replications of that voice.I wonder if one could measure his impact in people's knowledge what it would be. I feel like it's tremendous.Happy Birthday.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bjJ0AUgi1NI>>220374897I'll check it out,
>>220376954Wasn't the BBC caught faking all its animal documentaries
>>220377821Yeah it was two fellas in a praying mantis costumer
>>220377809You also wasted your youth, in fact, that's an incredibly common realization many come to and reason the midlife crisis is a thing.

>>220375921>>220374897This.
Did he ever make a documentary about sea bass?
>>220377924Only on the chilean variety.
>>220377900Yeah there were people in a giraffe costume here.
he narrated that one animal documentary i saw one saturday morning while being hungover.what else?
>>220374782>Flies around all over the world living the good life>gets old then starts pushing people to live in pods, eats bugs and wants to ban traveling
>>220378259THE GIRAFFES AND ZEBRAS AND HYENAS NEED TO BAND TOGETHER AND TAKE OUT THE STUPID FUCKING LIONS. THEY WON'T BE FUCKING MISSED
>>220377610>these gorillas…in the nest
>>220374782Awesome, where's his sticky?
>>220374782His brother was better.
He should get a sticky for his 100th anniversary, we only get ones when people die, we should celebrate him achieving the 100.
>>220378811Better at what, acting? They had totally different careers.
>>220374897I have it to watch it during the summer, hope is that good
>>220378546>the shittiest animals need to exterminate the best animalsWhat's the weather like in Tel Aviv today?
>>220377871>>220377809I've also wasted my youth, but with regards to people who haven't, are they really content with the best years of their lives being behind them? Do memories of a well spent youth really cure middle age crisis? Wouldn't the downgrade in quality of life also affect them? Or do they just resign themselves to old age while reminiscing about better times, knowing that each passing day of their lives just gets worse and worse?
>>220378850>Lions>best animalsLions are fucking cruel, even for animals. Lions live one of the worst lives of any mammals.
>>220378839Yes acting. And just a far more remarkable person imo. David on the other hand worked at the beeb for decades and no doubt raped a few kids with saville and every other nonce at the BBC.
>>220378970He is far more famous than his brother.He made some kino documentaries, and does not strike anyone as a kid diddler.Also has outlived him by 10 years.Richardfags in shambles.
>>220378829This. His is one of the few lives that really deserve celebration.
>>220378829tru
>Anti-human Malthusian psychopath >Refuses to die
>>220376450>It's the fall of Rome that he only spends 5 minutes on, and then most of the first episode deals with the dark ages. He focuses on the Vikings and the monks who copied manuscripts and created art like the Book of Kells, and then Charlemagne who was responsible for uniting Europe and preserving many books from antiquity by having people copy themokay, cool. Should watch this again.
>>220377821All animals documentaries are filled with stage shit. They literally just drop the prey to its hunter or straight hold it so the predator could catch it.
>>220376954>>220377789This is still funny, but the BBC nature docs are wildly popular in America. It’s just out of touch execs, like always.
>>220382122Attenborough wargs into the animals to create the scenes
>>220383185>endures the stress of being eaten alive countless times>still lives to 100what a chad
>>220376051>>There have been complaints in recent timesAaaaand dismissed
>>220374782Blessed.
>>220374782>almost 75 year long careerIs there anyone who's had a longer career in television or film (managing/producing/acting/etc)?
this is my favourite :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TJaNDBI87s
>>220383526Kirk the D?
this is great
>>220374796https://vocaroo.com/1i0R1PfOcLofhttps://vocaroo.com/150J9kzZagUAHis observations of human behavior are the best.
He's on the telly lads
>>220384289The use of CGI animals feels hypocritical
>>220377871Koinophobia
>>220384289I was happy until>Chris packhamSo I switched channel to Great Pub Walks>guest starring Chris packhamOh for fuck sake
>>220374796HOLY SHIT they made a third one?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lILVObugHtQLUL
>>220378878It's not like you have a choice in the matter, so why stress about it?
>>220374782I don't like the overt environmentalist and vegan propaganda in his works. Those things are also a gateway to leftism.
>>220374897Old UK documentaries are so incredibly comfyWhile Attenborough had nothing to do with this, I'd highly recommend James Burke's Connectionshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcOb3Dilzjc
>White homelands must be deindustrialised to save the planet. India and China? Not so much.
>>220374782Truth will out about his creepy sex pestering when he shuffles off.
Reminder he regularly fakes footage and most of it is filmed in aquarium. I say 'he' even though he has nothing to do with the show for at least a decade now. He also promotes debunked Jewish propaganda like global warming in every soundbite.
>>220378259that could have gone better
>>220384289They had a "personal" tribute from Paddington Bear during the show....Attenborough has been marked by the ursine angel of death now, he will not make 101. It will be like Final Destination, but with more marmalade.
>>220385485lol yea so we got like 10 hours of documentary just SHITTING on jeets. whoever makes these must really hate them
