David Attenborough is one of Britain's most cultured and well-known personalities as well as one of public television's most popular and respected presenters of natural history programs. Life on Air: David Attenborough's 50 Years in Television, viewers meet Attenborough in his home and on the set. The program is full of classic clips, outtakes and fascinating anecdotes of his career. Attenborough's love of animals and natural history was a constant pull back to production and his greatest successes came when he left the studio and started to explore the world, hosting such memorable series as The World Around Us, Civilization, The Ascent of Man, Life on Earth, The Living Planet and more. Host Michael Palin interviews Attenborough and key figures in his life including his famous brother, actor Sir Richard Attenborough.
