I think you start to get what I call Attenbourough fatigue, Time to give someone else a go perhaps?.Comment

I like him - I believe he brought gardening to a different dimension and I'm not referring to the awful blu decking

I, for one, will never tire of David Attenborough. How dare you!Originally posted by simoncpg View Post
Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
While better men than we go out and start their working lives
At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard KiplingComment

Thats what I mean, he is fantastic, but there are also some gifted youngsters who deserve a crack at the whip..Comment

All a matter of taste and overkill. I quite like him as a gardener, but dislike his books and his chat shows.Granny on the Game in SheffieldComment

I agree. I've been a fan of Sir David since I was a little girl. He's been my hero. I think he's been a great inspiration to many and the fact that he has stayed popular all these years speaks for itself.Originally posted by mrbadexample View PostI, for one, will never tire of David Attenborough.

But of course there is still plenty of room for new people in the natural history field and I am all for new talent.
And after all, Sir David is well into his 80's now and won't be able to carry on for ever (sadly!).
Regards Alan - I feel the same as FF - I like him as a gardener but not on the chat shows.Last edited by ladylottie; 22-04-2012, 12:04 PM.Forbidden Fruits make many Jams.Comment

There are other wildlife presenters, unfortunately their style of presentation is (by comparison with Attenborough) dumbed down.
Titch is OK in moderation, at least he is INTERESTED in what he does. I seem to recall that mostly he is on when they CAN'T find anyone else, he's what you might call 'reliable' and rarely actually upsets anyone...Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

Attenborough is a hero of mine too and I think an inspiration to many generations.
Alan was the first gardener I ever heard talking about plants being sexy. Now that's passion!Comment

The titch is an absolute god of men .... if i wasn't married and he wasn't I would be stalking him. Met him a GW live a while ago and I nearly fainted .. swoon.
My husband thinks I'm strange by the way

The only thing that bugs me about Alan is he gave up GW to work on ITV but still comes back to BBC to do the coverage of Chelsea flower show. Just because Chelsea is prestigious!Comment

I could listen to David Attenborough read out the nutritional content of a slice of bread, on a loop, for hours.
Titchmarsh, he's perfectly suited to daytime tv.Comment
