If there was
one programme and one man who has done more to bring the love
of life to everyone. The programme was "Zoo Quest",
and this introduced to the world David Attenborough. His love
of the wild life he was filming came across to the audience.
The whole country was captivated by his experiences.
His first trip to West Africa in 1953 with his friend and cameraman
Charles Lagus, became the first "Zoo Quest" on television. |
