'The hundred or so films that I have made since I left the BBC in 1995 have now been shown on TV in over 50 countries and it seems to me that such films can be put to more (better?) use around the world. As we’ve said it so often at film festivals. When you consider miles of footage and thousands of programmes sitting in vaults out there unused, it seems tragic that the very wonders they celebrate are dwindling, often because no one tells the locals and tries to help. That is why I believe it is Payback Time for wildlife television. The very business that made such a success of the subject, surely, should now put something (I suggest a lot) back’. …..
