PALGRAVE STUDIES IN SCIENCE AND POPULAR CULTURE...

This book explores the history of wildlife television in post-war Britain. It revolves around
the role of David Attenborough  whose career as a broadcaster and natural history filmmaker has
shaped British wildlife television. The book discusses aspects of Attenborough's professional
biography and also explores elements of the institutional history of the BBC-from the early
1960s  when it was at its most powerful  to the 2000s  when its future is uncertain. It focuses
primarily on the wildlife 'making-of' documentary genre  which is used to trace how television
progressively became a participant in the production of knowledge about nature. With the
inclusion of analysis of television programmes  first-hand accounts  BBC archival material and
most notably  interviews with David Attenborough  this volume follows the development of the
professional culture of wildlife broadcasting as it has been portrayed in public. It will be of
interest to wildlife television amateurs  historians of British television and students in
science communication.
