Keep it down

My wife and I greatly enjoy reading the articles in BBC Wildlife and admiring the excellent photographs. We therefore always look forward to indulging in the next issue. The article by Michael Bright on the BBC’s A Perfect Planet (The Goldilocks planet, February 2021) was intriguing, also revealing Sir David Attenborough in his ‘studio’.

We enjoy Sir David’s narrating style but why, oh why were his words frequently drowned out by the intrusive and, in our opinion, completely unnecessary ‘background’

music on the programme? There’s little need for any scenesetting music for wildlife series: the interesting narrative and excellent photography are well able to stand on their own. Mike Smith, Fareham
