Probably the best human to have made it to 100. I've never met anyone who doesn't know him, or anyone who dislikes him.
Dude just loves life and the world around him.

 

[nush]

Is he still making documentaries? That would be super impressive.

[The Skull]

Dude is an absolute national treasure.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

The guy is absolutely celebrated, mostly loved by all, lifts the lid on the world's natural beauty.

...and is roundly ignored when he tells us the truth of the state of the world and the path we are on.

 

[calistan]

Yeah, he's just done a series called Secret Garden, about "the drama unfolding in the hidden wild world of Britain's backyards".

 

[Nocty]

He's lived that long because he's spent his entire life living his passion.

 

[AJUMP23]

Congrats amateur.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

These are wise words Nocty, making me reevaluate my current employment even more now.

 

[Little Mac]

The Earth doesn't want to claim him yet.

Well unless you are rich, the average person spends 1/3 of their life at work, so if you are unhappy, it takes it's toll long term.

Take that risk man, Start something of your own, if you fail you can try again you know.

I think he just narrates them now, there was one recently on netflix about Gorillas that my daughters loved.

 

[clarky]

Legend. I made a thread about him not long ago.

When you brother has to invent dinosaurs in an effort to one up you, you know you done good.

 

[clarky]

If you search his name then google have a little celebration for him pop up. Nice touch.

 

[bender]

I'd pay to listen to him read a phonebook. Happy Birthday and here's hoping for a hundred more.

[Bojji]

Watched a lot of animal planet/national geographic programs with him as a kid.

 

[Thanati]

A truly wonderful person. I've been watching his programs since I was a little kid (so around 45 years go now, lol)

 

[clarky]

Theres a cracking tribute on BBC1 right now.

 

[clarky]

Anyone watching this? Life on Earth was the first wildlife show recorded in colour

 

[RJMacready73]

Watching the Tribute on BBC, I grew up with this guy and he's an absolute treasure, what he's done for this planet can't be understated, hopefully we can eek a few more years out of him as I simply can't imagine a world without Sir David Attenborough

Actually welling up here. Wonderful trubute, but almost felt like everyone was saying goodbye to a legend.

He is nature documentaries for me, no one else even comes close, not even David Bellamy. I've been watching him since the 70s, and when he's gone I'll be sad, more so than any other celebrity.
