As national treasure Sir David Attenborough marks his 100th birthday, a wildlife photographer has recalled what it was like to work alongside him in some of the world's most remote locations. Ben Osborne, from Shropshire, said it was a "privilege" to join Attenborough in South Georgia, in the South Atlantic Ocean, during the filming of the Life in the Freezer series. "We stayed up far too late, drank more red wine than we should have, and the conversation was incredible," he said, reflecting on evenings after filming. The six-part documentary, filmed in 1993, explored the natural history of the Antarctic continent.
