I watched the 'Saving Planet Earth' prog on BBC last night. It was full of the usual superb photography and 
charismatic animals. David Attenborough is looking his age but gave his expected smooth and considered commentary. The measured BBC approach must surely convince viewers that it would be 'awfully nice' if something was done about the situation - that's not enough though - 'imperative' is the word he's looking for.
Tonight we will be shown the celebrities on their conservation jollies to look at the big five and making all the right noises. I trust that now that Sir David accepts that Global warming might be something to do with mankinds activities he has a plan to channel the viewers empathy into doing something more than just changing their light bulbs.
I just wish that before Sir David hangs up his microphone for good he might show some of the passion that Sir Bob does when he gets fired up and tell it like it is.......... come on SIr David, just a few ****** !
