Lennon and McCartney, Tea and Scones, Attenborough and the BBC - when you think of iconic British pairings, you'll be hard pressed to find many that work together so well.
So it came as a surprise to all when back in November it was confirmed that Sir David Attenborough would be working with online streaming giant Netflix to narrate a brand new series - 'Our Planet'.
The new series takes an eye-opening look at the vulnerability of Earth and the human impact threatening our essential wildlife and their habitats. So strongly does Sir David feel about this subject, it has led him to claim this could be the most important series he's ever made.
So to celebrate the upcoming release of 'Our Planet', we've taken a look at five of the legendary broadcasters most iconic shows, which changed television forever.

Happy days: Back in November it was confirmed that Sir David Attenborough would be working with online streaming giant Netflix to narrate a brand new series - 'Our Planet'
Quest Under Capricorn (1963)
After his Zoo Quest adventures in South America, Africa and Indonesia, a 37-year-old David Attenborough – looking barely out of his teens – travelled through Australia's Northern Territory for this six-part series.
The heat was in the high 40's, and the nearest help was days away. They carried a week's supply of water, but a breakdown in the desert could have been fatal.
Unlike any of his other shows, this showcases his ability as an anthropologist and an interviewer, befriending Aboriginal Australians and coaxing them to talk about their religious beliefs and their dying traditions.
Way back when! Sir David's personal favourite of all the series he's made, this is also perhaps the most ambitious
Life On Earth (1979)
Sir David's personal favourite of all the series he's made, this is also perhaps the most ambitious.
'We decided we would cover the whole of the animal kingdom, from micro-organisms right through to man,' he says. 'It took three years to make, and it was the biggest project the BBC's Natural History Unit had ever attempted. From amoeba to man is quite a go, but we did it – and a lot of people watched it.
BBC 2 scheduled two showings a week of each episode, and many people watched both.' It features his most celebrated animal encounter... romping with wild gorillas in the jungles of Rwanda.
Those were the days: Attenborough's series have always sought to take viewers to habitats they could not hope to visit, and show the astonishing variety of wildlife on our planet, but this six-parter really did introduce us to an alien world
Life In The Freezer (1993)
Attenborough's series have always sought to take viewers to habitats they could not hope to visit, and show the astonishing variety of wildlife on our planet, but this six-parter really did introduce us to an alien world.
In the Antarctic, a pristine environment at the end of the earth, the crew were able to film humpback whales, Emperor penguins and leopard seals – and to do it, they had to contend with 100 mph gales in temperatures of as low as minus 70C.
One underwater cameraman said his oxygen breather froze to his mouth as soon as he entered the water.
Legend: Sir David cemented his position as the nation's favourite grandfather in the final part of this series, when he got down on his knees in a grassy enclosure to exchange greetings with a blind baby black rhino called Nicky
Africa (2013)
Sir David cemented his position as the nation's favourite grandfather in the final part of this series, when he got down on his knees in a grassy enclosure to exchange greetings with a blind baby black rhino called Nicky.
'He started to squeak and we were able to have a little chat,' he says. The footage summed up his ability to relate to animals and win their trust, and reminded us of the deep emotional bond he has with the natural world.
The series also features outstanding aerial photography – a foretaste of the camera-drone tech to come.
Awestruck: A single sequence, of a mother humpback whale cradling her dead calf, did more to wake up millions of viewers to the perils of plastic pollution than any number of news reports
Breathtaking: It was testimony to the sheer power of TV wildlife documentaries to change the way people understand the natural world
Blue Planet II (2018)
A single sequence, of a mother humpback whale cradling her dead calf, did more to wake up millions of viewers to the perils of plastic pollution than any number of news reports.
It was testimony to the sheer power of TV wildlife documentaries to change the way people understand the natural world. 'With the population of the earth expanding as it is, how are we going to feed everyone?' he asks. 'The seas could be our answer, but we've got to do something about the plastic. We cannot continue as we are.'
Coupled with a Daily Mail campaign, this sounded the start of a plastic recycling revolution in Britain.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
