The natural world is just full, full of wonders.
00:21
Well, it's what I've been spending my life really trying to do,
00:25
making clear what the natural world is,
00:28
how complicated it is and how it works,
00:30
and how it affects the way in which we live.
00:59
I used to spend a lot of time looking for fossils
01:03
and then watching foxes and rabbits and birds.
01:28
And now I'm looking for fossils.
01:55
Two of the shows that we have running at the moment
01:57
on BBC Two, these are both available and supplied in colour.
02:01
It started making programmes with clockwork cameras, you know, way back 50 years ago.
02:29
And now I've gone all through, through HD and through colour and so on,
02:34
and now I'm in 3D.
02:36
So it's very nice to have been there for the whole history of television picture making.
02:59
I really felt that this was the greatest compliment
03:25
that I'd ever been paid by anybody or anything,
03:28
that they trusted us and were friendly enough to us to come and do that.
03:34
It was just breathtaking.
03:51
Congratulations.
03:52
I was going to say these things are heavy, but you know that
03:55
because you have vast experience of collecting these BAFTA awards.
03:59
In fact, it's almost 50 years, sir, since you first collected a BAFTA award.
04:04
And how do you feel about this track record that you have set
04:08
and which I dare say will never be equaled or surpassed?
04:12
Older.
04:25
I feel pretty good about that.
04:35
I mean, what?
04:36
You know, there was a thing called Attenborough,
04:38
so it's giving a tyrannosaurus a bad time.
04:41
That's good.
04:42
I like that.
04:56
We are now interfering with the natural world in such a wholesale way
05:02
that we are risking the fertility of the world.
05:06
We are risking the continued existence of this Earth as a fertile planet.
05:13
There are more and more people.
05:35
Every day there are more and more people on Earth.
05:38
Every day the problem becomes bigger.
05:40
So every day we have to work to keep the solution,
05:43
and we are not at the moment even keeping pace.
05:46
But if we can manage to solve some of these problems about fuel supply,
05:52
energy and so on, then maybe we'll keep up.
05:55
But my suspicion is that it's going to get tougher.
