David Attenborough brutally told David Dimbleby he'd 'never work in BBC politics again'
BBC until his retirement, working on Question Time and also hosting the election night coverage from 1979 to 2017. In a recent interview, the retired journalist revealed that fellow BBC frontman David Attenborough, 96, once threatened him that he would never work in politics for the BBC again unless he changed an article he wrote about one of the corporation's big bosses.David spoke about the "row" he was involved in during the early 1970s with former Prime Minister Harold Wilson.As Labour unexpectedly lost the 1970 election, David called this "the biggest bust-up with a political party the BBC had ever provoked".In the aftermath of the events, David decided to write an article about the BBC's governors and their "inadequate protectors" of the company.As his contract required, David showed the letter to the BBC and the director of programmes at the time, David Attenborough.David told The Daily Telegraph: "The director of programmes at the time, taking a break from filming gorillas, was David Attenborough, whose ability to enforce difficult decisions with great charm had landed him with the nickname 'the baby-faced killer'."He summoned me to see him and told me that unless I removed one particular passage from my critique I would never again be able to work in politics at the BBC, although he said a place might be found for me in children’s television – a threat for which to his credit he has since frequently apologised."I cannot remember whether I obeyed.
