Julian Rhind-Tutt is best known for his starring role as Dr "Mac" Macartney in the comedy television series Green Wing, on Channel 4. What you may not know is that he has also appeared alongside Gerald Butler and other luminaries in the Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, where they were all promptly blown up before the opening credits.

 Julian says he had a great time doing the voiceover for This Wild Life about which he says:

 "It has been a privilege to watch the adventure unfold. This is a wonderful programme about the most noble of animals and the most noble of people who work tirelessly to protect them.”
