London calling for legend Sir David

Focusing on wildlife in the capital

- By Nicola Methven

SIR David Attenborough has travelled the globe making wildlife films, but is turning his attention closer to home for his latest project.

To mark his centenary year, the world's most famous naturalist will explore the wildlife found in the city he has lived in for 75 years.

Wild London will see Sir David, 99, looking at the extraordinary ways in which animals have adapted to survive in the capital city.

Executive producer Tom Hugh-Jones said: "Wild London captures that Attenborough magic at its very best — presenting in vision throughout the film, having up-close encounters with animals and talking intimately about his own wildlife experiences."
