Sir David Frederick Attenborough
Controller for the BBC Two.....??? Big Media???
From 1965 to 1969 Attenborough was Controller of
BBC Two. Among the programmes he commissioned during this time were
Match of the Day,
Civilisation,
The Ascent of Man,
The Likely Lads,
Man Alive,
Masterclass,
Whicker's World,
The Old Grey Whistle Test and
The Money Programme. He also initiated televised
snooker. This diversity of programme types reflects Attenborough's belief that BBC Two's output should be as varied as possible. In 1967, under his watch, BBC Two became the first television channel in the United Kingdom to broadcast in colour.
From 1969 to 1972 he was BBC Television's Director of Programmes (making him responsible overall for both
BBC One and BBC Two), but ultimately turned down an offer of promotion that would have made him
Director General of the BBC. In the year 1972 Attenborough resigned his post and returned to being a programme maker.
