True Greyduster, he has become a sacred cow, don't mean that unkindly, just happens to some in the tv world . Never a woman though

I like Chris Packham .... Especially since watching the programme about his Asperger's ... it all makes sense now!!

I’m not a big fan either, Ann and DH was grumbling mightily about him constantly fronting these programmes at his great age, but, at the end of the day, his name sells programmes and that is it, even though, to my mind, the quality of the series would carry it through whoever fronted it (God forbid, anyone but Chris Packham, though!).

Jane, ?

I don't dislike him, not a fan either, he has been on tv for ever and is rather a bore

Hooray annsixty me too. I don't dislike him just find his voice boring. The programmes always feel a bit self congratulatory too. Sorry all. I know you love them.

Am I the only person on this planet who doesn't like David Attenborough.
I don't know why , I just don't.

Just watched it with 2 grandchildren - they were enthralled.

It was excellent but sadly I did nod off so will have to watch it again.

I am amazed that we still have so much to learn. Brilliant Photography and the wonderful David Attenborough. A great way to spend Sunday evening.

Did anyone see the first episode of this last night? I had my misgivings about another series, thinking, what was there new to see or say, but I was completely blown away by it. The photography - especially the opening shots with the dolphins - was astonishingly beautiful, and I am always amazed by the expertise of these camera people and the lengths they go to to bring us such wonderful footage.
