Sir David Attenborough has accepted Lateral Event Management's
invitation to travel to Australia to appear live on stage in Sydney and
Melbourne for the first time, for a series of public events entitled Sir David
Attenborough - A Life on Earth.
Sir David Attenborough is arguably the world's best-known
natural history film-maker, a much loved naturalist and broadcaster whose
career has spanned nearly six decades. He is the quintessential intrepid
traveller, sometimes changing continents mid-sentence.
Sir David's distinguished career in broadcasting began in 1952
when he joined BBC Television Talks Department. In 1954 he launched the first
of his famous Zoo Quest series which over the next 10 years took him to the
wilder parts of the world. In 1965, Sir David became Controller of BBC2 and was
responsible for the introduction of colour television into Britain. In 1969 he
was appointed Director of Programmes with editorial responsibility for both of
the BBC's television networks. Then in 1973, he resigned to return to programme
making, claiming "I haven't even seen the Galapagos Islands." First
came Eastwards with Attenborough, a natural history series set in South East
Asia, then The Tribal Eye, examining tribal art.
An estimated 500 million people worldwide watched the 13-part
series Life on Earth, written and presented by Sir David. At the time it was
the most ambitious series ever produced by the BBC Natural History Unit. Its
sequel, The Living Planet, came five years later in 1984 and in 1990 the final
part of the trilogy, The Trials of Life was broadcast. He also wrote and
presented two shorter series, The First Eden, on the long history of mankind's
relationship with the natural world in the lands around the Mediterranean, and
Lost Worlds, Vanished Lives, about fossils.
In 1993, Sir David presented the spectacular Life in the
Freezer, a celebration of Antarctica and in 1995, he wrote and presented the
epic The Private Life of Plants. In 1996, Attenborough in Paradise fulfilled a
lifelong ambition to make a special film about the elusive but beautiful birds
of paradise. In 1997, he narrated the award-winning Wildlife Specials, marking
40 years of the BBC Natural History Unit. In 1998, he completed an epic 10-part
series for the BBC, The Life of Birds. In 2000 he presented State of the Planet
and in 2001 narrated The Blue Planet. In 2002 he worked on the innovative new
BBC1 series, The Life of Mammals and in 2005 he fronted Life In The
Undergrowth.
Knighted in 1985, Sir David was awarded the Order of Merit by
the Queen in 2005, which recognises exceptional distinction in the arts,
sciences and other areas.
Sir David Attenborough - A Life on Earth will take audiences on
an incredible journey through Sir David's extraordinary life, his untold
stories, the evolution of filming techniques and his passion for bringing us
closer to nature. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to share Sir David's
experiences with the great man himself, in person.

I
CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS. I AM SO!! EXCITED BY THE THOUGHT OF SEEING ONE OF MY
LIFELONG IDOLS IN FRONT OF MY EYES. IT IS HARD FOR ME TO EXPLAIN HOW MUCH THIS
MEANS TO ME. THANK YOU SO!! MUCH TO MY NEW FRIEND TAMZEN FOR MAKING ME AWARE OF
THIS AND FOR COMING TO SYDNEY WITH ME TO SHARE SUCH AN EXPERIENCE.
IT IS A SHAME THE STATE THEATRE IN SYDNEY ONLY MADE AN ELECTRONIC
PRINTOUT AVAILABLE FOR THIS - I FEEL AN EVENT SUCH AS THIS IS MORE THAN WORTH
HAVING A NICE TICKET ON OFFER AS A WAY TO SAVOUR AND REMEMBER SUCH AN OCCASION.
THAT SAID, THIS EVENT MAY CHANGE ME LIFE.
