I'm over the age of 40 so I probably don't have the greatest handle on what the younger generations call "cool" these days but ... do you think Simon King qualifies? A female friend of mine once went to see him give a slide show and afterwards commented that he was undoubtedly a good cameraman but it was like he had had every ounce of charisma extracted at birth

I'm not a big fan of Cwis Packham but I think he means well and people do like him so perhaps I should watch a few more of his shows. Nick Baker also seems to be OK on shows aimed at "family" audiences but I do wonder who will be the next David Attenborough - a knowledgeable, widely respected naturalist with intelligent and unpatronizing presentation skills ... is there anyone? (and nobody say Alan Titchmarsh!! )
