Complete List of Video Works?
Hello. I've been searching for a complete list of David Attenborough's video works and in order. You do have a section called "Bibliography", but it's in no way complete. Also, it seems he has made a lot of videos recently too. Can someone here do that? 12.46.101.25 (talk) 00:45, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
Issue: Should the lead specifically mention his primetime emmy awards?
The lead currently mentions his emmies for narration, which I don't think is more notable than many of his other honorary degrees and awards. For instance, we don't mention in the lead that he was knighted by the queen, or was awarded the Champion of the Earth award from the United Nations Environment Programme. Winning an emmy is pretty weak tea next to those awards or his 37 honorary degrees from British universities. It arguably trivializes him to say his most notable award was in winning a hollywood popularity contest along with these people. Objections to deleting mention of his emmies from the lead?

- Ultimately he’s a broadcaster. That’s what he’s best known for. And an Emmy for his broadcasting is notable, as is the BAFTA which also appears. If we didn’t include such awards then the lede section of articles of those in broadcasting would look very different. CH Ahens (talk) 22:09, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- The BAFTA I'm fine with as it highlights how long his career is and is an achievement nobody else will have. Maybe there's a middle ground here, where we mention the emmy but combine it with the prior sentence, like this:
- Over his life he has collected dozens of honorary degrees and awards, including 3 Emmies for Outstanding Narration.
- Does that work for you? Note that we mention his wins in 2018 and 2019 but he also won in 2020. Efbrazil (talk) 19:13, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
To add to article
To add to this article: mention of Attenborough's new BBC series Wild Isles. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/mar/10/david-attenborough-bbc-wild-isles-episode-rightwing-backlash-fears 173.88.246.138 (talk) 05:23, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Is there genuinely a 6th episode at all? Google gives conflicting information, not to mention the fact the filmography page for Sir Attenborough as it stands, lists 'Wild Isles' as being a 5 episode, 60 minute series. Lafi90 (talk) 21:42, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
