Joey Russ 7,220 Posted October 4, 2018 Surely he’s going to make the list soon, right? I mean, he’s one of the oldest names that is definitely deathlisty that hasn’t made the list yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted December 3, 2018 To be honest I got a feeling the country's going to mourn more when he goes than when Phil goes. I mean even republicans like David. And pretty much everyone alive grew up with his documentaries as kids and through adulthood except really old fuckers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also when he was Controller of BBC1 he not only commissioned The Ascent of Man and Civilisation (two of the great documentary series) but also Monty Python, Old Grey Whistle Test and BBC snooker coverage!

Snooker show pot black was one of his ideas and it led commentator Ted Lowe to say on an early show, "and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,432 Posted December 3, 2018 Bloody typo. Attenborough turned down "promotion" as he was itching to get back out into the field, of course. 29 minutes ago, Cat O'Falk said: Snooker show pot black was one of his ideas and it led commentator Ted Lowe to say on an early show, "and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green". That's up there with the Dougie Donnelly Final Score great: "And those of you who don't want to see the Old Firm result ahead of the highlights tonight, look away now. Well, 2-0 Rangers, who'd have thought?" EDIT - Arse, totally forgot about the ISS till I saw this post now! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
