It's true. Today, I can exclusively reveal that the penguins that Sir David shows us in the antarctic are hand picked penguin models, straight out of penguin casting. Each penguin is carefully groomed and made up, has its feathers cut and blow-dried, and is placed in the ideal position in the colony, ready for the blue-shirted, silver-tongued, whispering wonder to do his breathless voiceover in a picture perfect setting.
That's why the BBC penguins all look identical. You won't see any chav, ugly penguins- they aren't allowed near the set.
Like this poor Adelie, with a face that only a penguin mother could love. Never mind Attenborough, this specimen, who wished to be identified as 'Psycho' (not his real name), wouldn't even make the grade in a Nigel Marven production.
And I, for one, think it's sad. Perhaps it's time for the lads from BBC Bristol to embrace the ugly penguins, in all their bug eyed glory.
Otherwise penguins like poor Psycho here are going to find themselves with a complex.
And that would be taking the pingu.
