And both used a very nice cameraman by the name of Alan Root who pays tribute to them in his book " Ivory, apes and peacocks" . Well worth a read!

I love any programme from DA, but perhaps it is the BBC we should appreciate most of all.  Over the years they have not just shown, but have made many great nature and science programmes.  Which is more than can be said for its UK competitors, especially ITV, where the only time you get a nature programme from them is when it is celebrity led, e.g. Cloones, Fry or O'Grady.  Sadly the days of ITV doing any 'serious' television science and nature, or documentary/factual are long past.

And produced in Bristol, of course. Quality guaranteed. {Sorry couldn't resist some local pride}.

For years even decades DA got involved hands on with the Natural world documentaries, his enthusiasm for the natural living world is second to none, he manages to bring colour and life to a world that is otherwise overlooked, his enthusiasm continues in his voice overs; we have to remember that the gentleman is now 88 years young. 


The day that we are not able to enjoy his encounters with nature will indeed be very sad.

I think he has a great voice and manner about him, a little like Michael Palin and comes across as a nice bloke.
