I went out for dinner in a pub with Dominik last night, so I missed it when it aired, but I just caught up with the latest episode of Sir David Attenborough’s Wild Isles on Woodland, and all I can say is: ‘Wow!’ The photography in the program blew my mind. Attenborough and the beeb have, it seems, done it again, bringing the natural world to life in a way nobody else seems able to. In this week’s program there were shots of birds flocking, taken at night so that it looked like a million tiny glowing particles circling one another in majestic, intricate patterns. Watching it, my jaw dropped it was so mesmerising. Amid all the current bollocks and corruption of the world, and amid all the other pathetic drivel being thrown at us on TV and in the cinema, surely it is things like this – The Attenborough Phenomenon – which remind us just how outstanding things can actually be.
