Sir David Attenborough faced some health and safety issues in his latest TV venture.
Producer Alastair Fothergill has said the 96-year-old national treasure could have "died" during filming for Wild Isles, which will air its first episode on Sunday (March 12). The programme took three years to film and will mark the wildlife presenter's 69th year of being on television.
But during the broadcaster’s first foray into exploring the wildlife of the UK, he put himself in danger. The programme captured Sir Attenborough up in the middle of the night on the Welsh island of Skomer waiting for a Manx shearwater chick to take flight for the first time for a migration to South America.
