Did anyone else see the words ‘David Attenborough…’ and feel their heart sink a bit, thinking he’d died?

Then I cheered up, life in the old dog yet, bless him

I rather thought that the fact there will be no Planet Earth IV is a rather ominous sign of our future biodiversity.

Every damn time. My poor heart.

All David Attenborough headlines should start with ‘Still alive and well David Attenborough…’

First thing I thought was like “phew, not dead. What a sad day it’ll be once he does die”. He’s been narrating so good haha documentaries I’ve seen for as long as I can remember (and since I can understand English).

I’ve always said that he’ll die while narrating in the recording booth.

I cheered up a bit when I realized he wasn’t dying, then I got sad again when I realized Planet Earth is dying.

Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised to be reminded he was still alive. I keep forgetting it was his brother that died, and not him.

It even worse when the age is in the headline.

I hate reading his name in a title when his face is the thumbnail for an article.

Better get a move on, the earth is getting up there in age and might not be able to do a third before it retires.

I thought it was an onion article; seriously, series 4 will just be “Zoos and Game Parks of Planet Earth”

Planet Earth is much better than his Our Planet thing on Netflix.

Our Planet just feels like episode after episode of “it’s all dying, and it’s all your fault”.

Like, I get it, and it is. But I just want to see some pretty tigers or leopards or something to take my mind off it. I want raccoons and their funny little hands. I want sexually frustrated birds of paradise making an ever more elaborate attempts to get laid.

The bird part is just my life and I don’t want any more of it.

The sad thing is that the ones who hear it and understand it are the ones trying to change what little we can already. So hearing it over and over is depressing.

The ones who don’t care are the ones who need to hear it the most, but will ignore it.

So excited about this. Planet Earth 2 is one of the best things ever created for television.

Really hope they’ll get it right.
