Going back to the documentary and the snippet of the Queen recording her Christmas message, there’s a wonderful bit in Sir David Attenborough’s autobiography of the first time he was the producer of the Queen’s Christmas message.
I can type it out from my copy – I shouldn’t think it would break copyright as it’s a very short segment of what is (and quite rightly) a very long book. And it fits in with the “behind the scenes” aspect of the current documentary. Anyway, I’ve longed for an opportunity to share this, ever since I read his book.
If anyone’s interested, I could post this extract tomorrow.
