It is one of the things that they're best at, certainly. I do worry about what will happen to the nature ones when Attenborough finally croaks, the ones with other presenters aren't as good.
I quite liked the Polar Bear: Spy on the Ice one narrated by David Tennant, but that was probably because it was fairly amusing with the little pods rolling around the ice.
I liked the Polar Bear: Spy on the Ice one... oh, what Ant said.
...I dunno. Guest presenters? Maybe that's for the best until we get a natural successor after a bit of time. Brian Cox is alright too, but it's not really something anybody could measure up to I suppose.
Brian Cox is a tit. Can't stand him on TV.
I do like BBC, a lot - but Ken Burns also does some great documentaries.
I think I prefer Brian Cox in more Physics based stuff.
Stephen Fry is a reasonable narrator for nature docs.
I didn't think you'd have to wait until Attenborough croaks. Didn't he say that the last was his last?
Obviously anything Attenborough has a hand in is going to be pure genius and you can't replace the man. He's a national treasure.
I think the Monty Python chap has done a few (Palin I think) and he's easy to listen to, as is Fry.
Brian Cox is fine for the science stuff, but his voice can sometime be a bit too soothing. "Billions and billions and b i l l i o n ssssssnore."
Going away from the BBC, I really enjoyed the Neil DeGrasse Tyson (sp?) Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey series. Very informative.
I do remember Sam Neill doing one about fifteen years ago called 'Space'. That was very good. Sam Neill should do more documentaries.
Strangely, I hated 'Through the Wormhole' with Morgan Freeman. It should have been so good, but it was all doom-mongery for no good reason as a lot of American documentaries are. "Monster' black hole 'devouring' everything in its path...and we could be next." "Our life giving Sun will kill us all!" That sort of shit.
