Title: Sir Davi Attenborough
Post by: mercury on May 08, 2016, 19:29:13 PM

A very Happy 90 the Birthday to Sir David Attenborough.. I don't ever recall seeing a man of his age looking as good as he does.  We have all grown up with him and  have learned so much about the real world from him. The famous gorilla scenes was amazingly filmed 48 years ago.  A charming, interesting and lovely man.

Absolutely agree, and tonight's BBC programme to celebrate his birthday was one of the nicest I've seen for a long time. I am sorry they couldn't find time for the clip of him in Papua New Guinea meeting local tribesmen on a hillside path. He was a young reporter new to adventuring and they had never been known to let a stranger live. They approached him threatening with their spears whereas he held out his hand for a shake and and said, "Hello, nice to meet you".

When Sir David is ready to retire Hilary is prepared to take over. Here she is exploring a rainforest.
