It’s only natural! David Attenborough is voted Britain’s Favorite TV Presenter of All Time ahead of Terry Wogan, Bruce Forsyth and Ant and Dec
- Sir David Attenborough, 96, topped the poll with 28 percent of the overall vote.
- He beat the late Sir Terry Wogan, Sir Bruce Forsyth, Ant and Dec and 27 others
Its sweet tones have served as a soundtrack to nature on our screens since the 50s.
So perhaps it’s not a far-fetched discovery that Sir David Attenborough has been crowned the greatest British TV presenter of all time, according to a poll.
The 96-year-old narrator of the documentary won 28 percent of the vote with 30 household names on the list in total.
Coming in second in the Perspectus Global poll is the late Sir Terry Wogan, whose broadcasting career began in the 1960s and included his BBC talk show Wogan in the 1980s and 1990s and his Radio breakfast show. 2, in which he entertained millions of TOGs (Terry’s Old Geezers and Gals).
Sir Bruce Forsyth came in third, having hosted a string of Saturday night primetime hits including The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right, Bruce’s Price is Right and co-hosting Strictly Come Dancing.

Cilla Black, who hosted Surprise Suprise and then Blind Date, ranked sixth in the poll
Sir Terry Wogan (left) took second place, while Ant and Dec (right) took eighth place.
Ant and Dec, who have won the title of best television presenter at the National Television Awards 21 times, were eighth.
When asked what makes a great TV presenter, 47 per cent of Britons felt it was someone who seemed genuine.
But half of us think the caliber of hosting has declined in recent years, and 51 percent go so far as to say it’s a dying art.
