It revolves around the role of David Attenborough, whose career as a broadcaster and natural history filmmaker has shaped British wildlife television. The book discusses aspects of Attenborough's professional biography and also explores elements of the institutional history of the BBC-from the early 1960s, when it was at its most powerful, to the 2000s, when its future is uncertain. It focuses primarily on the wildlife 'making-of' documentary genre, which is used to trace how television progressively became a participant in the production of knowledge about nature. With the inclusion of analysis of television programmes, first-hand accounts, BBC archival material and, most notably, interviews with David Attenborough, this volume follows the development of the professional culture of wildlife broadcasting as it has been portrayed in public. It will be of interest to wildlife television amateurs, historians of British television and students in science communication. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Science and Popular Culture,$x2731-4367 606 $aCommunication 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aDocumentary films 606 $aEthnology$zGreat Britain 606 $aCulture 606 $aMotion picture industry 606 $aTelevision broadcasting 606 $aAnimal migration 606 $aMedia and Communication 606 $aCultural Studies 606 $aDocumentary Studies 606 $aBritish Culture 606 $aFilm and Television Industry 606 $aAnimal Migration 615 0$aCommunication. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aDocumentary films. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aMotion picture industry. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting. 615 0$aAnimal migration. 615 14$aMedia and Communication. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 615 24$aDocumentary Studies. 615 24$aBritish Culture. 615 24$aFilm and Television Industry. 615 24$aAnimal Migration. 676 $a301 676 $a791.45094109045 700 $aGouyon$b Jean-Baptiste$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01226554 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910485000603321 996 $aBBC Wildlife Documentaries in the Age of Attenborough$92847951 997 $aUNINA
