The celebrated television naturalist David Attenborough first appeared on our screens in Zoo Quest, which began on 21 December 1954. He went - as a producer - to Sierra Leone with zoologists Jack Lester and Alfred Woods, to film them collecting animals for London Zoo. The footage shot in the wild by cameraman Charles Lagus was augmented in the finished programme with studio sections, where some of the creatures collected were seen up close. When Lester fell ill Attenborough stepped in as presenter.
