David Attenborough is this week's Radio Times cover star
Attenborough is back on our screens to narrate Frozen Planet II.
In anticipation of Frozen Planet II starting on Sunday 11th September, Sir David Attenborough is the star of this week’s Radio Times magazine cover.
In this week's issue, the filmmaker behind the series Mark Brownlow speaks about wowing Attenborough, as well as balancing "the gloomy to the glorious" and making sure the series is reflective of current times.
Brownlow says: "We have to tell the contemporary story of what’s happening. Long gone are the days when we could show you a paradise and forget about the issues – I think we’d be laughed out of the room if we didn’t nail climate change."
Also in this week’s Radio Times:
- Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith talk about filming back at the original Great British Bake Off location post-pandemic, with Hollywood saying: "I had a bit of a moment when I first went to see the tent again. I love filming at Welford and we’ve been away for a couple of years."
- Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli break down their new comedy series Am I Being Unreasonable?, with Cooper explaining why she's "not ready" yet to return to This County: "We definitely will (bring This Country back), but I’m not ready yet... I found the last series so hard when I lost Michael [Sleggs]. I’m still trying to process that."
- Nicholas Ralph and Rachel Shenton talk about the new season of All Creatures Great and Small, including why Shenton stood out when she first auditioned.
- David Oyelowo talks about the increasing diversity on screen and about a "huge" moment in his career when his dad proudly said: "I never thought I would see a Black man play the King of England, let alone that that Black man is my son."
