Sir David Attenborough

I know this is obvious but did you expect a site about lovely people to be controversial? His brother Richard once unleashed a variety of killer dinosaurs on an island but David has a far healthier relationship with nature. Has anyone ever not liked David Attenborough? He does a lot of charity and environmental stuff, but Bono does that and a lot of people shudder with disgust at the mention of him. The reason? It's the 'L' word. The soft voice without a hint of nastiness, the fact that whilst he has the best job in world, he's also the best person in the world for that job. Would you send Jade Goody into a band of gorillas? Possibly, but for very different reasons.

He's so lovely even animals can sense it. If an animal were to eat David, the backlash from other animals would be so intense his/her life would become unbearable. The stingray that killed Steve Irwin has divided opinion in the animal world, some casting him out because of Steve Irwin's charity work, whilst some have hailed him a hero because, to quote an eminent dolphin, "Irwin was taking the piss out us a bit really".

This scenario would be unthinkable for our David. Held aloft by man and beast alike- I give you Sir David Attenborough.

Sir David Fact- there are two animals named after him- a pre-historic reptile dinosaur (Attenborosaurus conybeari) and an echidna (Zaglossus attenboroughi).
