David Attenborough

[Purges]

He is a most excellent human being. In many ways he is a role model, I really cannot get enough of his work. It saddens me that he is getting old and won't be around for the rest of my life to entertain and educate me.

I would love to meet him some day, I would have so much that I would want to talk about I wouldn't know where to start.

I just had to get that out there. He is the only 'celebrity' that I feel this way about, he has taught me so much about life, existence, reality - the important things. He does it so eloquently that anyone of any age can gain information from it. Truly remarkable, there is nothing like it. He is the friendliest, most engaging encyclopedia of a man. Of course there are the BBC production teams and camera men etc to thank, but Dave is the jewel in the crown. I have nothing but love for this man.

I just had to get that out there. Watching him right now. Dave FTW!

He does the voice over in the British version of Planet Earth is which pretty good if you haven't already seen it. I also liked The Life of Mammals, though most of what I've seen from him is what's available on Netflix.

ALL OF THEM! Honestly, pick one, you really can't go wrong! But, as a reptile lover / keeper, 'Life in Cold Blood' is most excellent, then there's 'Blue Planet' which covers all forms of marine life, 'Planet Earth' is another gem, and then there's 'Life of Mammals' 'Life of Birds' 'The Private Life of Plants' and more - these all combined paint the most wonderful picture of the web of life, and show how truly interconnected and reliant all lifeforms are on each other. On top of that, the camera work and cinematography is second to none, each film is a work of art, eye candy of the highest order :d

[Purges]

Phlux, gotta agree there mate, I have often thought the same thing! Although my grandfather (RIP x) was the best anyone could hope for.

Sally, how exciting is that! I thought he was done after Life in Cold Blood, this makes me so happy

I was just talking about this recently to my wife or some friend. I feel exactly the same. I love this dude

David is amazing and one of my favorite people on earth.

I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend "Life in the Undergrowth" along with all the others mentioned.
This one was particularly spectacular.

I love this stuff..I used to be obcessed with biology..I wanted to be a biologist so bad and took courses at the vancouver aquarium in high school and was a volunteer there..I would go out to these wetland areas and study different amphibians and I went through a period when I was like 15 when all I did was think about marine biology. I still love..I spend lots of time in the old growth rainforest here wandering around collecting different plants and fungi..hunting for mushrooms especially you start begin to percieve a whole new world on the forest floor you were totally unaware of before.
