In an interview with the Radio Times, Alastair Fothergill revealed that he's "not interested in human stars, only in animal stars".
Fothergill conceded that "[Irwin] introduced a lot of people to natural history," but "his basic stock in trade was ‘aren’t I brave, and animals dangerous?'"
A BBC spokeswoman quoted in The Sun tried to distance the corporation from Fothergill's feelings, stressing that "these are Alastair’s personal views".
