‘It’s charmingly atypical of him’: Sir David Attenborough fast-forwards his own documentaries to check what happened to the animals

Sir David Attenborough fast-forwards to the end of his documentaries to check what happened to the animals, a BBC colleague revealed on Tuesday.

The broadcaster, 96, who has narrated the often heart-wrenching BBC nature programmes since the 1950s, likes to find out the outcomes first. 

Mike Gunton, executive producer of the BBC Natural History Unit, described ‘charming’ Sir David’s process as he gets to work narrating the footage.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Mike explained: ‘He often spins to the end [of the programme before he narrates it] to find out what happens. 

‘He just wants to ensure that everything is OK, which I think is charmingly atypical of him.’ 

It comes as Sir David is set to narrate a new immersive BBC Earth Experience, which is set to launch in London next year.

The ‘immersive digital journey’ will guide visitors through the World’s seven continents and feature footage from the BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet series.

The BBC Earth Experience, which will arrive at the brand new Daikin Centre in Earl’s Court in March, will see the footage, including extended scenes, projected on multiple multi-angle screens using the latest digital screen technology.

Visitors will be able to take a 360-degree audio-visual journey as they explore impressive landscapes and come face to face with some of the world’s most mesmerising animals.

The experience will offer visitors a look at species from every corner of the world, from fireflies putting on a spectacular light show in North America, snub-nosed monkeys huddling together to stay warm in Asia and hungry hamsters fighting to keep their food in Europe.

Speaking about the new project, Mat Way, global director of live entertainment, gaming and interactive at BBC studios said: ‘We are delighted to partner with Moon Eye Productions and Live Nation to bring the BBC’s ground-breaking natural history content to this amazing live immersive London location for everyone to enjoy.’

Tickets for the BBC Earth Experience will be on sale from 10am on December 2, with the experience opening on March 30 2023.
