I'm pleased I've read this. It's been very interesting to see how much David Attenborough has contributed to our cultural life over the past 60+ years, because it really is a lot and not all to do with wildlife and the natural world. Without him, BBC 2 may have never existed and certainly not in its diverse and eclectic form. This memoir tells us a lot more about him than we think we know.
Not absolutely the greatest memoir I've read but his style is engaging and in places very humorous. He does spend a lot of time naming everybody who he's ever worked with, which becomes tedious in places although I'm sure he does this for the right reason. He's pretty self-effacing and wants to make sure everyone else gets the credit due to them.
The man is justifiably a legend.
Thanks David!
