Fuckin' oath. Also, a lot of nature documentarists (not a word I know but I'm drunk so fuck you) tend to get involved in long standing debates about their techniques and presentation. A lot of them simply can't resist staging something, but apart from 'Life of Plants' and probably some of the insect sequences, I think Attenborough has always done the old fashioned way: dig a hole, disguise oneself and wait for something to happen while one keeps one's finger on the camera. He's also done more recent docos where they went to great lengths and various technologies to disguise said cameras; American bears and Indian tigers, I think. Some of the beasties would actually play with the cameras as toys. Attenborough can't get all the credit, of course, but the people backing him up are often brilliant.
