    I’m only on episode two of BBC One’s gorgeous new high-production nature series, Parenthood, and already I’ve been radicalised. The five-part programme, combining the exquisite narration from Sir David Attenborough and sublime visual storytelling we’ve come to expect from this kind of affair.

    If the script isn’t always the sharpest – “parenthood is a journey like no other,” Attenborough says at one point – it really doesn’t matter when the visuals are this good.

    This is wonderful, spectacular, premium camerawork, as ever, Attenborough’s chocolatey narration second to none.
