Richard Brock - In Memoriam 1938 - 30 December 2024 It is with great sadness we share that renowned wildlife television producer and conservationist, Richard Brock, has passed away. Having always had a passion for wildlife, Richard studied zoology and botany at Cambridge University and, keen to communicate his ideas, joined the BBC Natural History Unit (NHU) upon his graduation. Working as a general assistant, Richard was taken under Jeffery Boswall's wing in the radio department. When Jeffery moved into television in 1964 he gave Richard his first film to produce, a compilation piece entitled Masters of Movement which aired on Peter Scott's famous Look strand. Richard's big break came when David Attenborough, then Head of BBC2, invited him to produce his next series set in Southeast Asia. Eastward with Attenborough was released in 1973 and was the start of a successful working partnership between the two. The pair collaborated again on the groundbreaking series Life On Earth (1979), with Richard taking responsibility for the sixth episode and amphibian segment, Invasion of the Land. Richard was appointed executive producer for the second of David's epic Life trilogy - surveying the world from an ecological point of view; The Living Planet was broadcast in 1984. A highly successful producer, Richard made numerous contributions to the BBC NHU's output, working on many individual features as well as a multitude of programmes for the Wildlife On One and The World About Us strands. Richard left the BBC after 35 years, concerned about the lack of willingness within the wildlife film industry to address the state of the environment. He went on to set up his own production company, Living Planet Productions, which made over 100 films on a wide range of environmental topics. A highly determined conservationist, Richard also set up The Brock Initiative, to educate decision makers and local communities about surrounding conservation issues by using archive footage. A constant presence within the Wildscreen community over the past 5 decades, Richard and his frog jumper, which he wore to every Wildscreen Festival, will be very much missed by us all. Our thoughts are with Richard's colleagues, friends and family at this time.
