[@roberthartley1572]

Rad Derry It is unethical and in some places illegal to interfere with wildlife. Any wildlife photographer should know this.

[@joshuakenny503]

Tim, you are completely right

[@ragedice6853]

@Rad Derry dude, his whole thing is filming what happens in the fucking wild, as soon as he does what u suggest he forfeits that forever. He is letting the animal kingdom BE the animal kingdom without human interference, what you're suggesting is that he creates a false reality for us to feel better, this is what happens ok? The animal kingdom isn't friendly and is run on instincts

[@ragedice6853]

@Rad Derry firstly, doctors and fire crew are paid to save you aka that's their job, Davids job isn't to save these animals it is to observe them and what I mean by the "he forfeits that forever" he forfeits the right to claim he observes wildlife in just that WILDlife. Secondly, when the fuck did I say poachers were good? That is the exact opposite of what I'm saying. POACHING IS HUMAN INTERFERENCE U IDIOT. And thirdly, do you really expect me to believe that you survived in the wild amongst apex predators for years? oh please stop lying so you can win an argument on the fucking internet. You want to know what I think? I think your a greasy middle-aged man trying to win (but cant) an argument with a fucking teenager online! You actual fuck head.

A little acknowledgement of that titanic, mysterious event and the awe and curiosity it so obviously inspires in Attenborough would have gone a long way. Ross should take a leaf out of Graham Norton’s book, who knows how to have a dialogue rather than trying to force comedy police-interrogation style.

@Rad Derry he causes the awareness that people need to have for endangered species, even though it's sad his philosophy is very strict with the circle of life. As he also stated in the interview it's inevitable in the wildlife, the only reason he doesn't help is to showcase the circle of life, it's nature, it's what makes nature thrive and him in taking action in it can disrupt the circle. Don't state that he doesn't help animals also do your research, remember they're wild animals his camera crew would be at risk too. Think before you speak next time and do a bit of research before you judge someones character. Also the last thing you want to do is slander a 93 year old, last thing you want is to live the rest with remorse and guilt rather than him atonning for it or enjoying the rest.

Long live Sir David Attenborough. Always making people realize that we live on a wonderful planet and that we need to take better care of. Thanks for posting.

[@pspicer777]

I grew up with Mr. Attenborough - good to know he is still vibrant.

[@pspicer777]

@Rad Derry RD, those were the days. Apologies to M. Hopkin Not better, different and both priceless. Be well RD in these challenging times.

[@pspicer777]

@uncletigger Interesting you should be so aggressive about this issue. I believe it clear I meant no disrespect to him. "No" I would not call Pope Francis by any other name as that is how I have always referred to him. If the context of conversation involved the Supreme Court then I would use Chief Justice, otherwise it would be Mr. Roberts. On investigation of this issue, it turns out there are a lot of nuances based on the nationality of the individual so honored and that of the referrer. I hold the gentleman in high regard and have no problem using the honorific Sir David. Be well UncleTrigger.

I've watched Sir David's work since I was a child, I made sure my own children watched him when they were growing up, and now, I have the blessing of watching him with my grandchildren. For what he does in conservation and education, I cannot thank him enough. The world cannot thank him enough. There's not many people in this world I would class as exceptional. To my mind, Sir David Attenborough is THE most exceptional individual our world has, and rightfuly revered.

[@kayreeve.author]

This interview is a treasure in itself to see Sir David Attenborough so relaxed and jovial. I feel highly honoured to have shaken hands with him, and to thank him for being a part of my children's home education via his documentaries. I only hope my grandchildren will be as equally inspired to watch and learn from him over the years. Video was invented for legends like this.

[@QPRDAR210]

His enthusiasm for what he preaches is outstanding 👏 the guy is a global gem and a legend

[@TheDAZ1001]

The only man alive who has truly lived! Loved him as a kid, love him as an adult! Him and his teams have showed the world its beauty, and its beasts!

[@yungfranklin7752]

Am I the only one that thinks David Attenborough is the guy everyone want to be there grandad ❤️😂

[@rickycouture7224]

Absolutely! I feel very fortunate, because my own grandfather went into a similar field as a naturalist living in New Hampshire. He's spent his life in the swamps of New England studying and observing turtles, while also working to conserve their habitat. We talk at least once every two weeks over the phone, and almost all of our conversations entail at least some story from his previous trips into the swamps. He's 78 years old and still going strong, though is more defeated by the day by the encroachment of people in areas where these turtles nest and breed. While American and not British, he does have a very similar captivating quality with the stories he tells. Here's a snippet I shared to KZbin a few years ago; kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGbWmqFuedKoY6M

[@chrishendriks3205]

He is already just that isn’t he?😅

[@taurusz1654]

He is such a speaker! Intoxicating really Sir Attenborough

[@tootieq6527]

I just love the way his eyes sparkle when he talks about the worlds wonders.

[@danielkemp868]

Idris: 'Yeahhh...In Cape town..on table mountain, they've got those wild Orangutan.." Sir David Attenborough quietly nodding: " Orangutan? In South Africa. Man is talking out of his arse" "Mmhmm, yes yes"

[@realfootwearreviews139]

I think of Mr Attenborough as a grandfather he’s been in my life for 30 years plus since I remember him when I was a little boy.

[@keithreynolos1045]

Maybe they could sit closer together.

[@g8tr80]

yeah i felt they were sat too far apart especially David and Idris they were basically sat at other ends of the sofa

[@Smeg-MeisterVII]

G8tr same

[@derekmccreery3987]

That's all yo got out of this ?

[@dee9631]

What's ya point?

[@dee9631]

@@g8tr80 why cant people sit close??

[@CrazyMaori24]

Even when Sir David is being interviewed it sounds like he narrating a documentary 💯💯💪🏽💪🏽

[@kingkhalid9334]

I am from Africa ,, this guy is huge here everybody loves him ,, helped us alot with his videos passing the knowledge ,, best of the best

[@sarahj2551]

"they thought it got lost.. it was actually hunting the cameraman" *grins* 😂😂

[@mxgirl918]

I grew up watching his documentaries and my parents too when they were in college. He's the grandpa whom I could listen to tell stories all day.

[@kubel83]

The knowledge this incredible man possesses. I could listen to him all day.

[@Os_-tw4ot]

kubel83 he’s a remarkable human being

[@mattypants]

The world does not deserve Sir David Attenborough. He's so incredible.

[@diedertspijkerboer]

"Polar bears think yum yum breakfast when they see humans." So they're basically safe in the afternoon.

[@FadiA786]

What an absolute legend this man is. The word legend was derived for this man. The greatest voice we will ever hear on TV. I could listen to his voice for hours at a time without even the visuals. May God let him live for another 100 years as there'll never be another like him.

[@wavesurfer7284]

Wish i was in Lockdown with him, I'd never get tired of listening to him & his calm gentlemanly voice, plus I'd get to learn everything about our world and its inhabitants, stay safe everyone 🙏💜

[@dickdarstardly2060]

Someone discover the secret to eternal life so we can give it to David

[@holliswilliams8426]

No living organism can live forever, David knows that better than anyone from what he has seen filming life on Earth.

[@doesyomamaknowtho1468]

I don't think he'd even want to tbh

[@soniaboyd9613]

I am so honoured to have been watching Sir David Attenborough for over 50yrs

[@lauriebolles3149]

I'm now 67 and I have grown up with Sir David Attenborough and Dame Dr. Jane Goodall and I still keep learning from their knowledge and wisdom.

[@ngbe4987]

..love that disgust on Sir David's face when asked about space🤣

[@jojogpt]

It's so fascinating to listen David Attenborough speak about animals, be it in a documentary or a talk show. You can see his passion in his evey motion and sentence.

[@nick260682]

Hands up whose next search is land octopus...

[@lovingfro]

Did you watch it? The sound effects of the octopus walking on land are pretty disgusting haha

[@Sparclen]

@@lovingfro Those sound effects are edited in, sadly! In real life it would be completely silent, and perhaps for the better.

[@denden2j]

Sware down I’m in two minds… the first is like yeh go on search for it n the second is like are you fucking crazy !

[@kayumust]

Nah man giant octopuss vs spermwhale ! If only a human dares to film it... Imagine that giant octo choosing you over the whale 😲

[@teknique1409]

Man it's disgusting 🤢 like the movie alien coming to life

[@Hamzamalikyaqoob]

I don't know why but his voice is so soothing.

[@BeastTheMadness]

The way Idris is just sitting there making himself looks small like a child next to Sir David talking about polar bears hunting humans 😂

[@kingsley15]

Even just having a causal conversation, his voice, his enthusiasm nature - everything is just bliss.

[@TheCornishCockney]

a man you can utterly trust,a voice that EVERYONE listens to.

[@thatguy3254]

I’m surly not the only one that appreciates that Sir David Attonborough gives the person talking his complete undivided attention right?

[@KuyaSamYT]

This guy is a national treasure and we must protect him at all costs. David Attonborough isn't a bad fella either.

[@XBesty12X]

Sam Pincott Jonathon Ross is okay too.
