The iconic broadcaster will give a series of lessons for children unable to attend school
Most adults can only wish they had the legendary Sir David Attenborough as a geography teacher, but for children across the country it's about to become a reality.

In collaboration with BBC Bitesize, the lessons will be made available this week and cover topics like continents, maps and the oceans.
