@ashley92wales that's the scene i was looking for too .. intensely emotional, it's amazing to see so much mutual respect and understanding between attenborough and the gorillas
The footage is taken from Life on Earth which was first shown in 1979 but the footage was probably taken a year or two before that. Sir David Attenborough an amazingly modest man who has brought us magic moments like these.
can anyone see a bbc budget gorilla suit in there? i certainly can't. why fly a crew out to where gorillas actually live then spend money and time on a fake one? lol... don't be silly.
i read in 'radio times' today that one of the gorillas was actually a man in a gorilla suit. they needed him to balance the shot or something. this is not true is it - wtf ???? no sign of it here anyway. DA wouldnt allow that would he. i'll have to read it again to see if they were joking but i dont think they were.
i dont wanna start a urban legend so im thinking it was a joke. i must say it was very hard to tell, from the ambiguous way it was written whether they were serious or not. weird

He's so young! I thought humans were more closely related to Chimps and bonobos.

David Attenborough's quite possibly the greatest communicator this world's yet seen. This planet would've been a much darker place without him.

Bonobos make me feel even closer, but gorillas are pretty cool too...

David Attenborough and Charles Darwin. Two names I always associate with each other.

I have more respect for David Attenborough than anyone else on television. He really is such a well-educated, passionate, genuine man.

Hey there Ashley, you are right. It takes a legend to play with these gobsmackingly majestic creatures.

didn't show the part where the gorillas play with him, not many people can say that they have played with wild gorillas.
what a legend!

some of the most amazing footage ever. really counters the stereotype of gorillas as being ignorant, ugly and insensitive.
