And the winner is... It should come as little surprise, then, that the top place in the poll went to Sir David Attenborough. Now 80 years old, he has a varied and long history in broadcasting. During his time as controller of the BBC in the 1960s, he introduced colour to the UK's television sets. He's long been a campaigner on environmental issues - many years before it was considered trendy to support such causes - and his recent BBC series Planet Earth has been watched by an estimated 500 million people worldwide. In 2008, the David Attenborough Studio will open in his honour at the Natural History Museum, ensuring that there will be a permanent reminder to keep us thinking of him 10 years into the future and beyond.
