I didn\u2019t really know but I thought he would like it and he was unbelievably enthusiastic,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Attenborough] said to me, \u2018Look, I love doing new, and nobody\u2019s done this, and I\u2019ve never done this, so I really want to do it.\u2019 But also, he totally agreed and was totally fired up with the promise that given the money, given the time, we could deliver things that would genuinely surprise people.\u201d<\/p>\n

We took him to Skomer Island, a remote island off Pembrokeshire, but he was, as always, he was like a little boy. Now he spends a lot of time in Richmond, you know, he\u2019s doing his amazing work on his narrations, which he will continue to do, but he clearly can\u2019t travel as much as he did so it was an enormous pleasure and a privilege to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n The new series looks in close detail at the rich variety of wildlife habitats in the UK, from killer whales and golden eagles to \u201csinister woodland plants\u201d that \u201ctake pollinating insects hostage\u201d.<\/p>
