David Attenborough at 100: A Celebration Concert

Sir David Attenborough at 100 - A Celebration Concert.

Sir David Attenborough at 100 is a landmark cultural moment celebrating one of the most influential figures in British life. Someone who has transformed our understanding of the natural world and opened our eyes to the beauty of the planet. On Sir David’s birthday, Radio 2’s Dermot O’Leary places listeners at the very heart of the concert at the Royal Albert Hall to honour such an extraordinary broadcaster. This programme gives us the absolute best of the event. We hear music from the BBC Concert Orchestra which is associated with Sir David’s series, including Planet Earth, Blue Planet and Frozen Planet. We feature tributes on stage as well as special interviews which Dermot conducts backstage with guests and performers such as Sir Michael Palin, Sienna Spiro, Dan Smith from Bastille, Liz Bonin, Steve Backshall,
Ade Adepitan, Anna Dimitriadis, Chris Packham and Benedict Cumberbatch. Dermot is right in the middle of the action, sharing the atmosphere as artists and public figures come together to honour a man who has spent a lifetime revealing and helping to protect our planet.
