Honestly, I thought he died years ago. I reckon there was a point when he was just as important as David Attenborough in getting people acquainted with nature.

Fantastic guy, he came to our school in the mid 80s and was full of beans and excitement. Really lovely person.

RIP

Dave!

He actually attended my Secondary School. It's where he was educated. Probably our most famous alumni.

But yes, very sad that he's gone. 86 isn't a bad innings though.

R.I.P

Loved his programmes as a kid, proper character and so enthusiastic about nature.

Oh Goodie.

Sorry

I agree with the comments about his importance in terms of nature / environment.

And I chortled heartily at his buffoonery as a children.

RIP

He made a big scientific impact on my childhood and is definitely one of the figures I think of when the authentic British scientific eccentric comes to mind. Full of energy and enthusiasm to draw you heavily into his subject.

Oh Goodie.

Sorry

Are you confusing him with member of the Goodies, Bill Oddie?

Erm

I’m not getting any younger you know.
