I'm now 53 years old, and I grew up watching BBC wildlife documentaries (usually starring/narrated by Attenborough) while sitting with my Dad; lots of fond memories there. If he were still around to see the incredible quality of the current stuff, he'd be truly amazed, impressed and most certainly entertained! Even more impressive is that David is _STILL_ around and creating evermore awe-inspiring documentaries for yet _another_ generation of curious minds! It's one of the very few things the BBC spends the TV Licence on that's well worth it. 👍
Absolutely beautiful how effortless the angel shark just glides along the ocean floor. Amazing shots.

Most iconic voice over for the wildlife channels
The video quality of this so freaking good for some moments I doubted if it was actual footage or animation because it was just SOOO amazing. Also, props to the editors for doing a great job at making this feel like a horror movie with the sound (also, when they show the close up of the spike and there's like this little sound that kinda sounds like a blade, I thought that was awesome)
I’ve never seen that shark before! That’s terrifying how fast it gulps down its prey!
