New article

This article will become a subarticle of David Attenborough and will replace the "Television work" section of that article. This will reduce the use of lists in the main article and present the information more comprehensively and in a better format. It is currently a work in progress due to the large amount of data to enter. The main article will be amended once the work is complete. Thanks! Baguala (talk) 22:30, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just watched 'Jungle gremlins of Java', and David Attenborough does not narrate it, write it or appear in the credits at all. 89.241.99.35 (talk) 11:24, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Evolution" film with Attenborough

Today I watched a TV documentary in which Attenborough appeared, althought not all the time, titled "Evolution", in which appears the pink land iguana, and also the description of actual and current cases of evolution of birds from Galapagos Islands, due to the presence of human food that causes their adaptation. I consider this is a real and reported case of punctuated equilibrium and of actual evolution. Am I right? But what I wanna say here is that I don't see that title on the list. I wish to know if someone has a source where to find data about it, to rewatch it. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.61.94.66 (talk) 19:08, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Attenborough's Fabulous Frogs

I was going to add this but I wasn't sure whether it should be in the main filmography, or under "Other programmes". Any thoughts? Ruudboy (talk) 22:28, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, seeing as it is just an episode of Natural World of which Attenborough has hosted 59 previous episodes it should just be updated on there I will do it for you, kind regards. Lukejordan02 (talk) 23:00, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Plants Behaving Badly

Not sure what year this show was made, so I'll let you guys that usually edit this article decide on where to put it. It's already out on DVD/BD in some countries. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plants-behaving-Badly-David-Attenborough/dp/B00JS3XWKK You can also find both episodes on Youtube if you want to check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWjKoppENqU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTXfksTNbf4 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisron1977 (talk • contribs) 08:42, 1 September 2014 (UTC) Done Lukejordan02 (talk) 10:35, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

References

So I was thinking. Shouldn't we add references? At the very least for the DVD releases, but also for the episodes (both are only occasionally mentioned in the primary sources listed at the bottom of the article). As of now, it all looks rather WP:ORIGINAL to me.

Appalling grammar

In the entry Planet Earth – The Diaries there is the following commentary:

  Look behind the scenes how "Planet Earth" was filmed.

Now, I'm not a native English speaker, but this sentence makes no sense to me. I think it's an example of how the language is being oversimplified to the extreme, producing in some cases nonsense and in other cases phrases which can be interpreted in two totally different ways.

In this case, we have, at the very least, an appallingly poor use of the English grammar. Unfortunately, this is ever more prevalent in the English Wikipedia. (I'm assuming the word "look" here is a noun and not the verb in the imperative, in which case the sentence could make sense.) Suggestion:

  Look behind the scenes at how "Planet Earth" was filmed.
