I'll never forget the disgust amongst me and my friends when we found out that American television had replaced Attenborough's documentary voice with Oprah fucking Winfrey. Cultural vandalism.

Always found his voice genuinely soothing and a nice reprieve from all the other pressing issues

I remember watching blue planet seas of life in middle school in the early 2000s crazy.

TIL he's the brother of director Sir Richard Attenborough.

There's a rumour, probably apocryphal, that Richard Attenborough only got his knighthood because of David.

Somebody at the palace or the civil service was reviewing the nominations, saw "David Attenborough" and thought "that's a typo, they must have meant Dickie Attenborough".

What's the opposite of the black bar? Should HN have a green bar for things like this?

Protect David at all costs.

It's also fascinating to see he is still active with regards to BBC documentations. I watched some newer BBC documentaries with other people voicing it, and while they are not terribly, all (!) of those newer guys are significantly more boring than even an old David. David understands things better than the newer guys do.

He is a legend and has educated more people in natural history than anyone else ever...

Glad to hear. I thought all those videos recently of him were AI.
