David Attenborough’s 100 Years on Planet Earth – live

It’s the Royal Albert Hall birthday party for Britain’s most beloved broadcaster. Which big names will do the speeches? What will the orchestra play? And will it all be overshadowed by the great man’s TV clips? Follow along here

We move onto a chat show segment, with Young hanging out on an armchair next to an empty sofa. Who’s on first? Nobody! Because here’s the guy from Bastille to sing Pompeii. This is either because it featured in Planet Earth III, or because according to Wikipedia ‘the song was used for an advert by EE in January 2020 as part of their 5G promotion.’ Who could possibly say which it is.

We begin with a recap of Attenborough’s last decade, in which he has made 18 different shows. He’s been in a hot air balloon. He travelled around the world. He’s led the way against plastic pollution in the oceans. He’s grabbed onto cacti. He’s been bungee jumping. He poked a plant with a stick. One of these things is a lie.
