He was like the Spanish Attenboroguh back then, with a very peculiar and refined way of talking that made him very popular. He and his team were quite innovative in terms of making documentaries back in the seventies and presumably wil have inspired others later, like the bbc.
Also he would share social scientific values in his videos, like in this excerpt:

A Bird in the Bush is Better
Here is a bright red male northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) that is hiding among the leaves.
As I've mentioned, I have a gallery of my favorite photos at:
https://swede1952-
photographs.pixels.com
Go there and take a look. Prints are for sale along with other doodads and I suppose it is kind of a business for me. But it's the kind of business where I don't care whether I sale anything or not. If you want something, by all means you are welcome to make a purchase. But I just want you to visit and maybe mark your favorites or leave a comment. Cheers π

Yes, I am. There are at least dozens of these birds around here. I can always depend on them to brighten up a photo.

ALARMS.
They warned for DECADES, Exxon lied, LIES, called it a hoax.
Now the warnings ARE TRUE, but the effects ARE WORSE.
Canada burned 30 billion trees last year.
Scale is hard to understand, 30 billion trees is three hundred times the size of all combined annual logging in Canada, three centuries of logging. Canada isnt 200 years old.
WORSE than the warnings.
FIRST BUILD the replacement AT SPEED to end burning carbon.
REPLACE ALL carbon burning engines, today.
Last month was also the warmest May on record globally in the GISTEMPv4 dataset...

Yes its the same, yes the same means its worse.
Thinking about what worse means, rising and rising and rising, until we're high enough for the helicopter blades.
Our planetary temperatures are rising to death. And they will continue to rise, like the interior of a car in the sun.
Build it all.
