This legend is still alive and hopefully provides us a few more brilliant nature documentaries.
In general the BBC documentaries (not just nature) are by far the best and the Attenborough ones are my favourites.

Sir David Frederick Attenborough /ˈætənbərə/ OM, CH, CVO, CBE, FRS, FZS, FSA (born 8 May 1926)[1] is an English broadcaster and naturalist.
He is best known for writing and presenting the nine Life series, in conjunction with the BBC Natural History Unit, which collectively form a comprehensive survey of all life on the planet. He is also a former senior manager at the BBC, having served as controller of BBC Two and director of programming for BBC Television in the 1960s and 1970s. He is the only person to have won BAFTAs for programmes in each of black and white, colour, HD, and 3D.
Attenborough is widely considered a national treasure in Britain, although he himself does not like the term.[2][3][4] In 2002 he was named among the 100 Greatest Britons following a UK-wide vote.[5] He is a younger brother of the late director, producer and actor Richard Attenborough.[6]
