Patrick Barkham, The Guardian, 9 July 2012: Chris Packham – the next David Attenborough?
As a birding Hampshire lad of 49 but not a Southampton alumnus ....
John
Indeed. My dear wife is a Southampton alumnus. She'd probably have been happier with a sailor...Well, we all have our crosses to bear,
Alf, did you see Attenborough's last authored BBC series, First Life?
Are you also mixing up Life in the Freezer with Frozen Planet?
As for the next Attenborough, that's boring me stiff now, like it has been said earlier, let him be the current Packham.
I'm a big fan of Nick Baker - very keen and very knowledgeable with a good sense of humour. And always has a pair of bins round his neck when filming abroad, a sign to me that they really are interested!
Nick Baker is doing various series on Ch 5 etc in between working for the RSPB (really!)
However, I think we all tend to forget the one real gem - Iolo Williams. A massive hit on Welsh TV and very popular when he is given a slot on Springwatch.
