Move over Sir David . . .

If natural history programmes interest you, then on April 13th, 2022 Netflix is screening, Our Great National Parks, a five-part series about the world’s national parks. But it is not being narrated by Sir David Attenborough; it is being narrated by former US President Barack Obama. I read in The Sunday Times that it is to be his first on-screen presenting role since signing a multimillion-dollar production deal with Netflix in 2018.

But fear not, David Attenborough has not yet left the stage and will be narrating a BBC documentary called, Dinosaurs – The Final Day on BBC One on April 15th, 2022. At the time of writing I was unable to find a BBC trailer to post here.

“BBC Studios Science Unit has brilliantly combined cutting-edge CGI with the very latest science to depict, in meticulous detail, what happened on the day of the asteroid strike. I’ve longed to know exactly how the dinosaurs died ever since I was a little boy. Now, finally, I can see it.”
— Jack Bootle Head of Commissioning, Science and Natural History

Sir David Attenborough presents this landmark documentary which brings to life, in unprecedented detail, the lost world of the very last days of the dinosaurs. Searching in the hills of North Dakota, palaeontologist Robert DePalma makes an incredible discovery in a prehistoric graveyard known as Tanis - fossilised creatures, astonishingly well preserved like the bodies found at Pompeii. Whilst DePalma hunts for the evidence that can shed light on the final days of the dinosaurs, state-of-the-art VFX transports Sir David back in time to the Late Cretaceous to witness the creatures who lived at Tanis at the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. Meanwhile, cutting edge scanning techniques reveal fossilised secrets that could change our understanding of the dinosaurs' extinction once and for all.

...how humiliating....

Good to see you back on form, Mr Jellybaby

Sir David is a good choice to narrate a presentation on dinosaurs.
