Thanks - but I cannot watch that - I do not have a license.

I remember reading when D.A. was 90, but I am surprised that another five years have passed already!
What a man. I would love to have seen even half the things he has.
He will be a very hard act to follow.

True, Mups, I do not know of anyone following in his footsteps. His son is in Australia, a lecturer in Anthropology (I think), and his daughter is, or was, a school teacher.

@Muddy Yeah,l must make sure l watch that!
l happen to have the complete set of his Blue Planet series of
CD’s , which l have owned for about twenty years now, l still
watch some of them on occasion !
Thanks for the heads up Muddy !

Excellent series, Donkeyman - I also have that one and Blue Planet 2, and 8 others. One of the most amazing programmes he made was ‘Tiger - Spy in the Jungle’ - did you see that one?

@SilverTabby Was that one of his later ones Tabby ? If so it
explains why l didn’t get it ?
I expect l can see it on U Tube l Spose ?

It went out in three episodes - March/April 2008. And it is on YouTube -

Which ever way you want to watch The Green Planet I don’t think you will be disappointed at all. I thought it was excellent; well worth the hour spent watching it.

It’s an amazing program. Makes me see plants in a different way certainly.
David never makes a bad program, he is a legend in his own lifetime.

The filming was amazing ,the equipment they used was mind boggling .
I was fascinated by the symbiotic relationships of the ants and the fungus and how the trees fight back .
