This book explores the history of wildlife television in post-war
Britain. It revolves around the role of David Attenborough, whose
career as a broadcaster and natural history filmmaker has shaped
British wildlife television. The book discusses aspects of
Attenborough's professional biography and also explores elements of
the institutional history of the BBC-from the early 1960s, when it
was at its most powerful, to the 2000s, when its future is
uncertain. It focuses primarily on the wildlife 'making-of'
documentary genre, which is used to trace how television
progressively became a participant in the production of knowledge
about nature. With the inclusion of analysis of television
programmes, first-hand accounts, BBC archival material and, most
notably, interviews with David Attenborough, this volume follows
the development of the professional culture of wildlife
broadcasting as it has been portrayed in public. It will be of
interest to wildlife television amateurs, historians of British
television and students in science communication.
