Wildlife Prog Presenters

[Luco El Loco]

So who do you like?

My personal favourite is Nick Baker for his down to earth approachableness and because he really immerses himself in the habitats and gets really close to the animals. I can imagine him being the sort of kid who'd bring various creatures home in jars.

Bill Oddie is also quite good.

David Attenborough covers a broad range of animals/habitats but I find his dry way of speaking off putting, and he seems a bit distanced from his subject, even if it is only physical distance at times. I like to see some passion!

Does Steve Irwin count?

[Luco El Loco]

I guess he does. Even if at times he seems more like a lion tamer when compared to the others. Technically it's the same job. So yes.

Steve Irwin is a legend.. the show about his zoo also makes him seem like a very nice person too. swish all round.

[Luco El Loco]

Yeah, he clearly knows a lot about his stuff, although he does scare me sometimes with his daringness. He's definitely a peeping from behind your couch type wildlife presenter.

I cannot evar imagine Ash saying that word - it makes him sound like a great aunt! :/

And yeah, I vote the Irwin then.

Aye, Steve Irwin manages to make it sound fun, and factual at the same time - it's a good approach to have.

Attenborough, although interesting..i struggle to concentrate through a whole episode...i dunno why, but it's hard to keep the interest levels up

But Bill Oddie is a legend
