On the day of Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday, this unmissable event honours one of the most influential figures in broadcasting and natural history storytelling. Broadcast from the Royal Albert Hall in London, this 90-minute special celebrates Sir David's groundbreaking career, taking audiences on an extraordinary journey through a century of exploration and discovery in the natural world, seen through the prism of Sir David's remarkable life and work. The programme combines some of the most memorable wildlife moments from the BBC's natural history archive with live music drawn from Sir David's most iconic television series, alongside reflections from public figures and leading voices in conservation and wildlife film-making. Accompanied throughout by the BBC Concert Orchestra, the programme features iconic music associated with some of television's most unforgettable sequences from landmark series including Planet Earth, Blue Planet and Frozen Planet. And we hear from those who have worked with and been inspired by Sir David over the years.
