Regards, Chris | Possible but I can't think of anyone who does it better than Attenborough, he will definitely be a hard act to follow.

I guess we'll never know. Perhaps there was a greater man, who became so bitter and twisted at being leapfrogged by someone less deserving, that he sank without trace into a cess-pit of misery and despair, unknown and unloved.
Sorry, I'm just being silly now (but enjoying myself with this little flight of fancy).
