I wonder what David Attenborough knows, knew or was passionate about in the wild kingdom before he began narrating. That to me is my main want in a narrator for a wildlife show - to have a narrator that is passionate about what they are narrating and has some experience in the subject, not just a voice. And to not have a voice like Gilbert Gottfried is also a want. <LOL>
I rarely use the word hero but for this gentleman I make a total and unashamed exception.

He has been the voice of facinating nature programs since before even I was born.

He is beyond a doubt one of the reasons I became intrested in nature at all - the other being my father who shared his passion if not his travel opportunities.
