Sir David Attenborough, known for their own approach to environmental conservation, has no plans to slow down as he received double nominations at this year’s National Television Awards (NTAs) at 100.
The documentarian and presenter is nominated in the categories of Factual Entertainment for Secret Garden, and Best Presenter.
Notably, Geordie duo Ant & Dec has also received the nomination for best presenter who won the tittle 23 times in past years.
The 2026 National Television Awards will take place on Tuesday, 8 September.
The natural historian celebrated his 100th birthday in May in an event held at the Royal Albert Hall and broadcast by the BBC.
Sir David expressed his gratitude at the time, saying, “I had rather thought that I would celebrate my 100th birthday quietly, but it seems that many of you have had other ideas.
“I’ve been completely overwhelmed by birthday greetings from preschool groups to care home residents and countless individuals and families of all ages.
“I simply can’t reply to each of you all separately, but I would like to thank you all most sincerely for your kind messages, and wish those of you who have planned your own local events tomorrow. Have a very happy day.”
Sir David’s upcoming documentary, titled Blue Planet III, is all set to release later in 2026.
