I’m not sure to what degree citizens of the UK truly grasp the esteem in which your BBC is held, across the globe?

In times when nations are looking for ways to build soft power, it’s quite shocking to see the enemies within seek, so actively, to undermine it.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

A three-year-old brought me a bit of black paper. "Look", she said, "I found a piece of night!"

Sincere congrats to everyone, Jim 🍾 Love your words re your focus. The media types keep talking about the gov now having an opportunity to take risks, but that’s all about the games they want to witness, commentate on & ultimately critique. The rest of us just want the above, and no β€˜mini me’ Trumps

β€œReward us for a job well done”? The America I knew and admired (I’m writing from Australia) was not a nation seeking or needing a β€œpat on the head”.

It’s the strangest thing (writing from Australia here) to contemplate. A bit corny, I know, but around the globe, Air Force One is a key element of β€˜brand America’; a symbol of America’s strength, sovereignty, dignity. No more. Now a sky high symbol of a great country being corrupted; owned.

If you’d just flown into the country, flicked on your hotel TV, to watch the national broadcaster’s premium political program, you’d think the ALP government had lost last week’s federal election.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. πŸŽ‰

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
