BBC BUILD ROBOT ATTENBOROU­GH! Telly legend’s voice copied by boffins so he can narrate shows FOREVER

- By SIMON DEAN simon@ sundayspor­t. co. uk

ZOMBIE fans got a glimpse of a new babe on this week’s episode of The Walking Dead when Pollyanna McIntosh made her debut.

The 37- year- old Scottish actress stars in season seven of the gory franchise as Jadis, a female leader of a new group of survivors.

However, horror fans might recognise her from grim slasher movie, 2011’ s The Woman.

In the flick, Pollyanna plays a feral woman who’s tortured and raped her before feeding her captors to their own dogs.

Pollyanna is mostly topless or nude throughout the film.

And she has a lesbian love- in with fellow hottie Jessica Kiper in 2007’ s Sex and Death 101. BOFFINS at the Beeb have spent millions creating a robot version of presenter Sir David Attenborou­gh – so he can narrate their nature shows after his death!

The 90- year- old has voiced the channel’s natural history shows for more than 60 years.

But BBC bosses are worried he might die at some point.

Last year Sir David lent his softly- spoken tones to the smash hit Planet Earth 2 that saw nearly 11 million viewers tune in.

And producers reckon there is NOBODY in the world that can replace the silver- haired star if he does pop his clogs.

So they have enlisted some of the finest minds in the country to create a digital version of the sprightly TV legend.

And executives hope this will keep viewers watching for decades.

A source told Sunday Sport: “We have to face facts that Sir David Attenborou­gh will die one day.

“We just don’t know what might happen and we need to be prepared.

“Tarquin suggested David Walliams as a replacemen­t, but we all told him to f** k off.

“So when the idea of a robotic Sir David was mooted, it seemed the natural solution.

“He’ll be like Tupaq the rapper who got shot to death and then kept on making records.

“Some might say it’s disrespect­ful but we see it as the ultimate tribute to the voice of mother nature.” CALL OF NATURE: Sir David larks around with gorilla pals
