Sir David Attenborough : 'The world would be worse off without our stories' 'The perilous state that the natural world is in at the moment, these things are apparent to people all around the world,' he says.

The Naturalist was produced on the Home Service by Desmond Hawkins from Bristol in the mid 1940s .

Life on Earth , a landmark television programme made in Bristol , attracted around 15 million viewers in 1979 .

In his 98th year , Sir David 's next programme is a seven -part series called Asia , which will premiere later in 2024 .

Despite the global acclaim his career has earned him, he remains modest about his role in the shows he presents.

"I'm given huge credit for things that have nothing to do with me," he said.
