INTRO: David Attenborough joined Instagram this week, meaning he'll no longer need to queue up with his fellow 90 somethings in Boots to get his photos developed. He's now able to avoid queuing in Boots with his fellow 90 somethings to get his photos developed. However, will this newfound audience influence his future voiceover work?
INSTA
DAVID: Cara, just to let you know, I've made a few changes to the script.
CARA: Yeah, no problem. Ok, sound levels are good. David Attenborough's Mountain Life narration, take one.
ATMOS: NATURE DOCUMENTARY
DAVID: The Japanese winter is a trying time for all animals who live on the mountain. However, this Macaque monkey has struck it lucky. He's stumbled across a discarded rotting chicken leg and some mouldy blueberries... #foodporn.
ATMOS STOPS
CARA: Sorry...
DAVID: Yes, something the matter?
CARA: Em, '#foodporn' just doesn't quite fit the tone.
DAVID: Well, if we're going to engage with the Insta generation...
CARA: What?
DAVID: Oh yes I'm all about the 'gram these days. I even have a name for my followers fans. You know, Lady Gaga has her monsters, Lizzo has her Lizzbians and I have the Attenbuffers.
CARA: Attenbuffers? Right, great, whatever, back to the script.
ATMOS: NATURE DOCUMENTARY
DAVID: However, the male stops what he's doing as he senses a female in heat approaching. OMG what a creeper. Even though the female has the ick from this creeper she checks out his story and notices he has a ripped bod.
ATMOS STOPS
CARA: Cut! Ripped bod? Story?!
DAVID: Yes, an Insta' story is when...
CARA: I'm 24. I know what an Instagram story is.
DAVID: Excellent. Let's carry on...
ATMOS: NATURE DOCUMENTARY
DAVID: The female comes into full display as if to say...no filter!
CARA: Jesus.
DAVID: The male puffs out his chest and lets out a mating call in an attempt to slide into the female's DMs.
ATMOS STOPS
CARA: Cut! Oh my God. These are monkeys fighting for survival in the dead of winter, not Love Island contestants fighting for a shag!
DAVID: Please don't mug off my fellow influencers.
CARA: Right this has gone far enough. I know you're a national treasure and all, but Chris Packham would strangle a baby giraffe for this gig.
DAVID: Right, ok, ok. I'll stick to the script.
CARA: Thank you.
ATMOS: NATURE DOCUMENTARY
DAVID: The male Macaque becomes aroused when he sees the female: eggplant emoji, water squirting emoji, taco emoji.
CARA: Cut. Anyone got Packham's number? Get Packham on the phone.
