ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

Available for over a year

Sir David Attenborough joins John McCarthy in conversation and tells him of the first journeys he made to film wildlife for the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and how travel has changed in the intervening years. They talk about Sir David's reaction on arriving in Freetown, Sierra Leone and his first glimpse of the local fauna - at the airport. There are tales of his encounters with headhunters where no European had gone before, being run aground by an arms smuggler on a coral reef and the appeal of the gamelan orchestra.
