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 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aDocumentary films 606 $aEthnology?Europe 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aAnimal ecology 606 $aPopular Science in Cultural and Media Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q33010 606 $aDocumentary$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413050 606 $aBritish Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411050 606 $aFilm/TV Industry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413170 606 $aAnimal Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 0$aDocumentary films. 615 0$aEthnology?Europe. 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aAnimal ecology. 615 14$aPopular Science in Cultural and Media Studies. 615 24$aDocumentary. 615 24$aBritish Culture. 615 24$aFilm/TV Industry. 615 24$aAnimal Ecology. 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
