Frozen Planet - Wonderful World - Wow!

Did you see Frozen Planet? What a series!
Did you see the last 2 minutes or so?
Sir David was 'talking' (as opposed to singing) Wonderful World whilst the music track played behind him.At the same time on screen there was an amazing compilation of various animals, insects, sea life etc to help illustrate everything.
Now if only that song and the video could be made available as a download before Christmas it could be this year's number 1 - maybe with all profits going to the WWF Can any of the Massive suggest how to get the ball rolling?

or for folk outside the UK
The penguins
will probably want too much money as usual. they are worse than the chimpanzees when it comes to royalties. Ask PG Tips

F*ck me
they know how to ruin a good progmeamme don't they? I felt like slitting my wrists at all the bad news 10mins in and then everytime I clicked back it was 'thinning ice' 'warming' 'polar bears dying'
How depressing is that?
I genuinely could not watch it.
Were Radiohead busy?
.
There was a bit of that
But they did show that while the melting ice was forcing change onto some creatures, it was good news for others.
There was a kind of comfort at the end when Dickie said 'the animals are adapting to the changes. Can we?'
Before or after he made his 'Great Escape?'
;)
Oop!
Blahdy 'eck etc etc :D
For me David Attenborough
will always be Pinkie, the pschotic muderer and gang leader.
Well I remember
him from 'World Of Sport'. Did he ever finish painting that bathroom ceiling?
I was very moved by the clip
I thought it was beautiful - and being intoned by a man of such advanced years whose fascination for the planet and its fauna remains so clearly undiminished made it even more poignant.
It's things like that which have sealed - and will sustain Auntie's reputation.
Same here
Although it kind of feels like a swansong too, doesn't it? I hope he has a few years left.
I've managed to miss this series, foolishly, so I'm hoping for a repeat soon.
It was a rare valedictory moment
of genuine emotion from the last of the 'old school BBC'
and I was genuinely moved by it
(and I usually avoid nature programmes like the plague because of the anthropomorphising of animals, the 'non-westerners don't know how to look after their environments' schtick and the need to tell a 'story' - which, if it was honest would finish with baby animals getting eaten alive, cute penguins being snapped in half by killer whales and pretty tigers maiming their prey so that they can play with it while it dies an agonizing, slow death)
Sorry about that - where's my copy of "Brighton Rock" to cheer myself up?
