The process of making natural history films is to try to prevent the animal knowing you are there, so you get glimpses of a non-human world, and that is a transporting thing. – David Attenborough

Natural history is not about producing fables. – David Attenborough

In the old days… it was a basic, cardinal fact that producers didnt have opinions. When I was producing natural history programmes, I didnt use them as vehicles for my own opinion. They were factual programmes. – David Attenborough
