The remarkable nature advocate and TV presenter Sir David Attenborough turns 100 on Friday, an occasion for him to reflect on the groundbreaking series that made him a TV star: Life on Earth, which began filming 50 years ago in more than 40 countries. Using then-innovative techniques including time-lapse and micro-photography, the series captured wildlife in a way viewers had never before seen. Upon its premiere in the U.K. in 1979 and on PBS in 1982, Life on Earth was an enormous hit, sparking a trend in nature programming and securing Attenborough’s position atop the pantheon of natural history filmmakers and storytellers. (Highlights from Life on Earth include his memorable encounter with the baby gorilla Pablo in the mountains of Rwanda, which inspired a recent Netflix documentary.)
