    It’s one fantastic story after another, climaxing with how they got the immortal shot of Attenborough being cuddled by mountain gorillas in Rwanda, which has been repeated a thousand times but never loses its impact.

    There is no shortage of programmes this month marking Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday, but Making Life on Earth: Attenborough’s Greatest Adventure (BBC One), is the best.

    Making Life on Earth: Attenborough’s Greatest Adventure (BBC1) is, predictably, wonderful television because it delivers reminders of all the breathtaking and now famous animal money shots while also filling us in on the human drama happening behind the scenes. Of which there was plenty.
