After becoming a mainstay on TV screens due to spending more than seven decades producing fascinating nature documentaries, David Attenborough's next series about British natural history will likely be his last in which he will appear filmed on location, The Observer reports. The five-part series, titled Wild Isles, is set to begin next Sunday (March 12).
The new show will be Attenborough's first to feature him on camera on location since Green Planet, which was filmed more than four years ago. Despite his spokesperson saying he will continue making documentaries, his international travels are reported to have stopped.
Producers said he agreed to be the narrator for Wild Isles at first, before he agreed to present it. Series producer Alastair Fothergill, who has worked with Attenborough for over 35 years, told The Observer: "We felt he had a unique perspective because of his age, on how the British countryside has changed in his lifetime.
