1980: Sir David Attenborough answers children's questions

"I think we're all interested in wildlife because we are part of nature."

In 1980 naturalist David Attenborough faced questions from an audience of young viewers about his life and television career. Former Blue Peter presenter, Lesley Judd, hosted the show and Attenborough talked about making a connection with wild gorillas, and his concerns for the environment.
