David Attenborough

[DTCwordfan]

Why hasn't he been made Lord like his brother?

Surely his contribution to TV and Planet Earth merits it - or what has he done wrong?

[mikey4444]

DTC..........he already has the following letters after his name :: OM, CH, CVO, CBE, FRS, FLS, FZS, FSA !

[MargoTester]

Totally agree DTC - long overdue

Agreed. I also think it is high time that Bryan Ferry became a Sir

[Tilly2]

According to this, he was Knighted in the 1980's

[Mamyalynne]

Yes.

[Tilly2]

You have asked this before, DTC.

AOG mentioned the other day there should be a push for a Knighthood for David too, I added a link then.

Does he receive more pay if he’s made a lord? I’m pretty sure money is no problem to him so how would being made a lord benefit him?

[mikey4444]

Well...conservation being his interest, I would imagine being in the Lords would allow him to influence matters a bit more.

[Jahulaye]

Aha, so it’d give him more political sway for his conversation beliefs, good Call on him becoming a lord I say.

[Jahulaye]

Or conservation even, lol

[malagabob]

So what exactly is his contribution to the show. He narrates it possibly goes to all the countries. But the divers cameramen etc are the real hero’s

[fiction-factory]

>So what exactly is his contribution to the show.

It's probably no coincidence that no other similar programmes come close in terms of quality

[Jahulaye]

Aah but he’s the face and the front man malafabob. Imagine if it was piers Morgan doing his job, it wouldn’t have been as entertaining. It’s teally a team effort.

[malagabob]

So why wouldn’t it be as entertaining. You watch it for the camerawork and the planning and all the other stuff that make it a great show.

[DTCwordfan]

Yes, Tilly, but the passage of time makes it even more incredulous.

Just like John Surtees and his lack of recognition......

[emmie]

perhaps he doesn't think much of titles as such.

[tiggerblue10]

I've been wondering this for many years now.
