David Attenborough superstar

Sir David Attenborough is certainly flavour of the month these days -only just behind Ramsay.

His documentary series on Nine have boomed on Monday nights. The camerawork of Tiger: Spy in the Jungle certainly captures some stunning moments. Nine will follow the short series with another, Lion: A Spy in the Den.

If that wasn’t enough for Attenborough aficionados, he will also chat to Andrew Denton. The ABC host chats to six seniors in a collection of Enough Rope interviews called ‘Elders.’

David Attenborough: Lion: A Spy in the Den premieres 7:30pm Monday 9th June on Nine. Sir David Attenborough narrates this amazing documentary where hidden camera’s are disguised to get closer than ever before to the lions in their natural habitat, set against the stunning backdrop of the African plain.

Enough Rope with Andrew Denton: Elders premieres 9:35pm Monday June 16 on ABC1. In an age of salacious, youth-oriented media, ENOUGH ROPE is heading in the opposite direction and seeking the stories of our elders. It will explore six very different lives in search of that almost-out-of-fashion idea: wisdom.

The series features acclaimed broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough; philanthropist Dame Elisabeth Murdoch; Helen Thomas (White House Bureau Chief for 57 years); Australia’s most decorated living war hero and Victoria Cross winner, Keith Payne; former journalist and best-selling author, Isabel Allende; and former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke.

Tonight, Andrew talks to broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, who has been getting up close and personal with the environment for 50 years. A pioneer of nature documentaries, he has spent most of his life travelling the globe, witnessing rarely filmed encounters and bringing the wide world of nature into the comfort of our homes.

He has seen the best and the worst that the world has to offer, and at 82 has become deeply concerned for the future of the planet.
