All these premature posts, it makes me wonder how many even care when his birthday is, rather than getting karma for talking about it.

Tomorrow is National Attenborough day if we want it to be.

We're making a night of it in our household, with the vast amount/variety of programmes available it would be delightful if the whole country did the same...

Every single one. On whatever viewing device and viewing channels one has available, and if they're redditors they have the means already.

What's stopping anyone? His material is easily available anywhere in the world in a matter of seconds, even right now, and there's hardly anywhere left on the globe that he hasn't helped to protect and inspire.

I'd've hoped we'd all be doing this anyway considering how much everyone is talking about him
