Olympic curlers in the wild! David Attenborough gives curling the nature program treatment

Anyone who is at all familiar with Sir David Attenborough's "Planet Earth" series on BBC is well familiar with the famous naturalist's bloody good documentaries, rife with his melodious and easy to listen to upper crust English accent.

A narrator for some sixty years, Attenborough's vocal presence adds class to any film.

Now, in a charming bit of sarcasm, Attenborough lends his voice to this mini-documentary about curling.

Brace yourself. He will say "thrust their nuts" in here:

Attenborough does make a terrible mistake in this send up of the roaring game. In describing sweeping he says:

"The frisking is frantic and often futile, making no difference to the success of the net thrust."

Come on, Sir David. Fire your researchers.

A good nature program treatment of snowboarding has possibilities. Luge and bobsleigh, too. Ice dance as mating ritual. Sir David describing the intricate flight patterns of aerial skiers or the migration patterns of the cross country events.

I look forward to what I hope will be an entire series.
