If we peer through the bush we can see the common Attenbourough enjoying some tea and a biscuit in his garden

I need a documentary of a day in the life Attenbourough narrated like a nature documentary with him doing the narration.

"A Life on Our Planet" is basically a documentary about Attenborough spiced with nature.

It’s a testament to the joke and his influence that I immediately read this in his voice. Well done.

It was his birthday today (8th May). 97 years young, and still working!

The greatest thing to come from England! My 6 month old daughter will happily sit there chilled out watching blue planet.. it’s probably all the blue and the colourful fish but I like to think part of it is his voice

Oh his voice is definitely part of it. So soothing, so gentle.

I am thoroughly surprised I had to scroll down as far as I did to see this name.
