The Oldest Person to ever win a Daytime Emmy

I would just like to direct everyone’s attention to this incredible bit of news today. Sir David Attenborough has become the oldest person to ever win a Daytime Emmy for his Netflix film, Secret Life of Orang-utans. “The 99-year-old came out top in the outstanding daytime personality, non-daily category, with the Netflix film – which follows a group of apes living in the jungles of Sumatra, Indonesia – also coming away with two other awards.” Needless to say, I find that draw dropping. I’ve written about my admiration for Sir David on here before, yet the fact that not only is he still making television programmes after seventy years, but those programmes are still coming head and shoulders above anything else being made, is absolutely jaw-dropping. He surely is a national treasure if ever we had one.
