SOrry the Marlin Perkins ref was too outdated. He was our David Attenborough until he died in the mid 80s.
He was a naturalist and host of "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom".
It was a Sunday staple in most households.

His sidekick was Jim Fowler. Jokes abounded (Carson comes to mind) of Marlin saying things like "I'm going to wait here with my martini, while Jim goes out to catch the wily alligator."
