YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Celebrity A new David Attenborough documentary is on its way to the BBC By You Magazine - August 23, 2019 If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it is that Sir David Attenborough is national treasure. The man is a godsend and we do not deserve him. But luckily, we get to have him anyway. And you’ll all be pleased to hear that he is a brand new documentary coming to the BBC. Getty Images Much to our delight, the 93-year-old natural historian will be back on our TV screens for his hour-long BBC One documentary Extinction: The Facts, the Blue Planet – a film that will focus on the rapid decline in the population of endangered species. Throughout the documentary, Attenborough will be talking to leading scientists who are exploring the incredibly alarming disappearance of species such as the blue whale which is the biggest mammal in the world. As reported by Pretty 52, it will then go onto explain how this will have a direct impact on humans and our own population due to changes in food supplies, which could be affected by the continuous decline of pollinating insects. ‘Even today a record number of wildfires are burning in the Amazon and a million species are threatened with extinction. We know our audience has a hunger to understand how these urgent environmental issues affect them, but more than that, what they themselves can do in their homes,’ said Alison Kirkham, BBC Controller Factual Commissioning. Getty Images ‘We’ve proven with Big Blue Live, Climate Change the Facts, Drowning in Plastic that we can bring big broad audiences to complicated environmental subjects. There is television that matters. And I’m thrilled Sir David Attenborough continues to work with us to make it.’ No air date has yet to be revealed for the documentary but we’ll certainly be keeping our eyes peeled for updates. Earlier this summer, Attenborough praised Glastonbury festival for their environmental efforts.’There was one sequence in Blue Planet 2 which everyone seems to remember,’ he said whilst on stage at the festival. ‘It was one in which we showed what plastic has done to the creatures that live in the ocean. They have an extraordinary effect. And now, this great festival has gone plastic-free. That is more than a million bottles of water that have not been drunk by you at Glastonbury.’ RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR 50 of the best celebrity Halloween costumes of all time Shirley Ballas ‘ Strictly gave me back my hope’ Davina McCall discusses how men can help women going through the menopause Popular in Celebrity TV chef Gino D Acampo on Sardinia Sophia Loren and scary salads May 25, 2017 The Evergreen Goddess Exercise guru Diana Moran on looking fit and July 10, 2017 More more Julianne Moore November 13, 2017 Author Jill Mansell on designer notebooks commissioning art and the family January 16, 2018 EMOTIONAL TIES Kelly Hoppen on vodka vintage finds and being a April 4, 2018 ‘ I have no regrets’ Millie Mackintosh on divorce debt and reuniting May 20, 2018 EMOTIONAL TIES TV presenter and tennis player Annabel Croft shares her July 1, 2018 Stella Parton ‘ Dolly and I have always been close’ August 12, 2018 Anna Friel on getting jeered in the street shared parenting with September 23, 2018 Queen of primetime Charlotte Riley on juggling rising stardom with pregnancy October 21, 2018 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
