I thought he had retired


Hopefully this will be another interesting program. I've recently been watching Blue Planet and Nature's Great Events on Eden and seem to be going through a nature doc phase.

Blue Planet is one of the best tv series of the last 20 years or so for me...

Yes it is

Just to note that Attenborough's Journey is on tonight at 8pm.

That was a marvellous programme. Attenborough is a legend.

Incidentally, I see that First Life is broadcast on BBC2 on Friday 5th and 12th of November at 9pm. NOT 9am as it says on the BBC's own Attenborough page:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_9118000/9118606.stm

First Life will broadcast on BBC Two at 0900 BST Friday 5 November and Friday 12 November.

BST as well? No, we'll be back to GMT then.

Does anyone at the BBC have a clue these days?

What an energetic man for somone in his 80's.

If I ever live to that age I'll probably be drooling out of the side of my mouth whilst being spoonfed by a nurse.

Looking forward to watching the series.

I can't see any evidence that First Life is being shown in HD

Shum mishtake, shurely!

 

[stumpy]

Just the BBC showing a total lack of respect for anything truly interesting, informative and educational (as seems to be the norm these days).

I cannot believe it hasn't been made in HD, so I will be really pissed off if, after watching the SD version, it turns up in HD in a few weeks time. Unhelpful scheduling choices by the BBC.

 

[Shimmy in 2012]

Unhelpful BBC really. They show an increasing contempt for decent TV, instead aiming for mostly dumbed down mush.

 

[Bryan W Gaint]

What, you mean like "Attenbrough's Journey"?.....

I suspect it may not be in HD due to CGI. As the programme about Attenborough showed at the weekend, the subject matter is fairly reliant on using CGI to bring ancient fossils back to life. And I understand that one of the biggest barriers for shows like Dr Who going HD was it cost (both in time and computing power) significantly more to produce HD CGI models - so it was either fairly detailed SD models or unrealistic HD models (Torchwood anyone?)

Note the word 'mostly' in my sentence.
