That’s True Too
In Pursuit of Pluralism

Seeking Attention
As 2026 dawned, my mind turned to new year’s resolutions.
David Attenborough’s exhilarating, emotional, and stunningly beautiful Wild London, broadcast on New Year’s Day, was a powerful reminder of one I try to follow every year: to pay more attention.
This glorious one-off documentary explores the wildlife that somehow thrive in London, despite its nine million people, 2.6 million cars, and more than 600 square miles of concrete, asphalt, and steel – from peregrine falcons on the Houses of Parliament (I’m gutted I never noticed them while I was an MP), to wary wild foxes in a Tottenham allotment, hedgehogs in Ealing gardens, and pigeons that hop on and off the Underground’s circle line with all the confidence of a daily commuter.
Unbelievably, Attenborough turns 100 this year, yet he has lost nothing of his enthusiasm, curiosity, and sharp-eyed attentiveness, telling the wonderful stories of the wildlife that is quite literally on our doorsteps and under our noses. His endless capacity for wonder is contagious.
