Ulitzer95 12,573 Posted November 1, 2021 Practically sprinted up to the stage when he was giving his speech at COP26 today. Should be kept off the list next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCI Frank Burnside 3,878 Posted November 1, 2021 Yep. Attenborough is one to gamble with in terms of keeping off the list. Would be surprised if he's not alive and kicking for Christmas 2022 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed he looks in fantastic shape for a 95 year old man, I know anything can happen at that age but would be surprised if he doesn’t reach his 100th Birthday he could easily pass as 15 years younger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathrace 1,164 Posted November 2, 2021 Yes, if it was a choice between him and say Jerry Lee Lewis for inclusion it's a bit of a no brainer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,745 Posted April 24, 2022 The man doesn't stop. He's already had 3 separate series on the BBC this year and it's only April. Admittedly he mainly narrates footage filmed by others these days, but the Good Friday dinosaur documentary showed him much more active, visiting various scientists and seeing their work. Bearing in mind he's a week younger than the Queen, he seems in even better shape than HM. Personally, I'm hoping (and given the speed at which these series are coming out, assuming) that there's a vast catalogue of Attenborough docs already recorded to be released posthumously if necessary. Anything to stave off Packham... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly looks older than he did a couple of years ago, no doubt about that, but still in remarkable shape. Agreed that anything can happen at that age, though. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
