Very good Long Read in the Grauniad on-line today about the wondrous Sir David Attenborough. If Britain must have a King why not elect him to the position, say I.
Part of the strength of Patrick Barkham's highly informative article is the way it tempers a measured but real adulation with an intelligent critical sense - and it's clear, by the way, that Sir David is more than capable of recognising the truth of the best of that criticism. Barkham's tracing of the development of our hero into the eco-campaigner of today is astutely sympathetic. And I must say, it's this version of the Great Man that is, possibly, the most inspirational of all. As I pointed out to Noi just now, it's going to be difficult to leave the air-conditioning pointlessly running when someone says to you, But David Attenborough isn't going to be at all happy about that.
