Sir David Attenborough and the Natural History Museum have teamed up for a new immersive experience
Sir David Attenborough may be homing in on his ninety-ninth birthday, but the most treasured of all national treasures is still out there plugging away at being history's greatest ever TV naturalist.
On May 8 – the day he turns 99 – his new documentary film Ocean will hit cinemas, ahead of its arrival on Disney+ later this year. And a month later he'll present Our Story with David Attenborough, a new attraction at the Natural History Museum. We're not 100 percent sure of exactly what this involves, but we're about 95 percent certain it's effectively a new documentary that will be displayed at large scale on the walls and floors of the museum's Jerwood Gallery.
We do know what it's about, though: us! Running for 50 minutes, the documentary offers an overview of our species, presumably from a more evolutionary than historical perspective.
Quoth Sir David himself: 'Humanity is the most influential species on Earth. We depend entirely on this magnificent planet, yet its future is in our hands. My hope is that visitors of all ages will experience our extraordinary journey at the Natural History Museum and come away feeling inspired, informed and most of all, empowered about their integral role in our world. This is our story and we can all play a significant role.'
Basically yes blah blah it's 'immersive' but it's also a new David Attenborough documentary, and what sort of sick freak doesn't want one of those?

Sabrina Carpenter angers fans with 'submissive' album cover art
Sabrina Carpenter has angered fans after she released her new album cover art for her upcoming album Man's Best Friend, as many are left shocked by her new submissive image Sabrina Carpenter's new album cover art for her upcoming project Man's Best Friend has left fans confused at the "submissive" message it implied. Whilst the star is widely known to have a sarcastic sense of humour and sexual innuendos - shown on-stage during her X-rated 2025 BRIT Awards performance - but the album's cover art has left many fans asking if she's gone too far. Sabrina is portrayed as a submissive woman on the cover and is shown crawling on hands and knees as a male figure grabs her infamous locks. The artwork sparked a wave of backlash as many fans took to TikTok to vent about the "uncomfortable" nature of the former Disney star's image, questioning why female popstars are pushing a hyper-sexualised narrative. READ MORE: Sabrina Carpenter in savage dig at ex Barry Keoghan as fans come to same conclusion One Sabrina fan has gained over 500,000 views on TikTok for questioning Sabrina' s posing in the album artwork. They reference Sydney Sweeney, who was recently embroiled in a bathwater scandal, where the Hollywood actress posed in a bathtub to advertise her new product - a bar of soap that contained drops of her bathwater. The creator @ddiva444 said: "Seeing this alongside the Sydney Sweeney stuff and Bonnie Blue 's petting zoo, I just really have to question what on earth is going on at the moment?" Admitting to being a fan of Carpenter's music, she shared how she loved Sabrina's previous album, Short n' Sweet, because songs like Please, Please, Please and Espresso "poked fun at a lot of the stuff that women experience." "But this? Like literally being on your hands and knees, a man holding you by your hair and titling your album Man's Best Friend... I'm just not sure what to think of it," the creator said. Left with a bitter taste from the image, she went on: "I just don't think this is a good image that we should be preaching". Receiving 51,000 likes, other users ran to the comments to share their comments in agreement, with one writing: "FINALLY people are talking about this. Her rebrand hypersexualising herself for the male gaze is setting us so far back." Another wrote: "It's so regressive and lowkey degrading, definitely promotes the wrong idea to the wrong people". Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you! Interestingly, a third user wrote: "I'm so sick of white, rich women exploiting the concept of choice feminism - whether it's her, Sydney Sydney Sweeney, Bonnie Blue - they have created this really disgusting and damaging narrative. Women sexuality being presented isn't negative but they monopolise the male gaze because they are capitalists and 'sex sells' but its so disgusting". Their strong statement ended by insisting, "women are not objects and their world doesn't revolve [around] men's pleasure but that's the message these women spread". A fourth user suggested the singer "acts like she's poking fun but, at the same time, she's pandering to those toxic norms". The 26-year-old pop singer is yet to comment on the unhappy reception of Man's Best Friend. Man's Best Friend will be released on August 29, 2025. Sabrina shared the announcement on Instagram, with the caption: "I can't wait for it to be yours x" in the caption. This comes after the release of her song and music video Manchild.

Chilling audio of doomed Titan sub boss ‘sacking engineer who questioned mission's safety' before imposion tragedy
CHILLING new audio reveals the moment OceanGate's founder fired the company's operations director who voiced safety concerns about the ill-fated Titan sub. The audio clip was obtained by Netflix and has been used in its documentary Titan: The OceanGate Disaster. 9 9 9 9 9 American businessman Stockton Rush, who would go on to be one of the victims of the Titan disaster, can be heard David Lochridge in the clip. Lochridge had raised concerns around the safety of the submersible ahead of its doomed voyage. Rush tells him: "I don't want anybody in this company who is uncomfortable with what we are doing. "We're doing weird s*** here. I'm definitely out of the mold, I am doing things that are completely non-standard. "I'm sure the industry thinks I'm a f****** idiot. "That's fine, they've been doing that for years. And I'm going to continue on the way I am doing." A woman can be heard saying: "We need David on this crew, in my opinion we need him here." Lochridge says Rush's remarks left him "a tad let down" and "pretty gutted". "This is the first time on paper I've ever put any health and safety concerns," he adds. "You know every expedition we have had, we've had issues." 'What's that bang?' Chilling moment sound of doomed Titan sub imploding heard from support ship Rush concedes the point, and Lochridge asks him: "Do you now want to let me go?" But Rush bluntly replies: "I don't see we have a choice." Rush would later die on board the Titan alongside Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood, Suleman Dawood and Paul-Henri Nargeolet. The vessel imploded during a June 2023 expedition that initially prompted a major rescue operation. But the discovery of a piece debris in the North Atlantic dashed any hopes of a successful rescue mission. 9 9 9 9 Speaking to filmmakers, Lochridge said: "To me it was just sheer arrogance. "I didn't know what to say, but I was blown away that at this point they were willing to play Russian roulette." Lochridge was fired back in 2018 after he had worked at the firm for three years. In one email to an associate, he expressed fears that Rush would be killed, the MailOnline has reported. "I don't want to be seen as a tattle tale but I'm so worried he kills himself and others in the quest to boost his ego," he said. "I would consider myself pretty ballsy when it comes to doing things that are dangerous, but that sub is an accident waiting to happen." Lochridge would go on to inform the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of Titan's safety issues after he was fired. He reportedly got a settlement and release agreement from OceanGate's lawyers after flagging these concerns with OSHA. How the Titan tragedy unfolded By Katie Davis, Chief Foreign Reporter (Digital) FIVE men plunged beneath the surface of the North Atlantic in a homemade sub in a bid to explore the Titanic wreckage. Four passengers paid £195,000 each to go on the sub, with the fifth member of the trip being a crew member. But what was supposed to be a short trip spiralled into days of agony as the doomed Titan vanished without a trace on June 18, 2023. The daring mission had been months in the making - and almost didn't happen at the hands of harsh weather conditions in Newfoundland, Canada. In a now chilling Facebook post, passenger Hamish Harding wrote: "Due to the worst winter in Newfoundland in 40 years, this mission is likely to be the first and only manned mission to the Titanic in 2023. "A weather window has just opened up and we are going to attempt a dive tomorrow." It would be his final Facebook post. The following morning, he and four others - led by Stockton Rush - began the 12,5000ft descent towards the bottom of the Atlantic. But as it made its way down into the depths, the vessel lost all contact with its mother ship on the surface, the Polar Prince. It sparked a frantic four-day search for signs of life, with the hunt gripping the entire world. There was hope that by some miracle, the crew was alive and desperately waiting to be saved. But that sparked fears rescue teams faced a race against time as the passengers only had a 96-hour oxygen supply when they set out, which would be quickly dwindling. Then, when audio of banging sounds was detected under the water, it inspired hope that the victims were trapped and signalling to be rescued. It heartbreakingly turned out that the banging noises were likely either ocean noises or from other search ships, the US Navy determined. Countries around the world deployed their resources to aid the search, and within days the Odysseus remote-operated vehicle (ROV) was sent down to where the ghostly wreck of the Titanic sits. The plan was for the ROV to hook onto the sub and bring it up 10,000ft, where it would meet another ROV before heading to the surface. But any hopes of a phenomenal rescue were dashed when Odysseus came across a piece of debris from the sub around 1,600ft from the Titanic. The rescue mission tragically turned into a salvage task, and the heartbroken families of those on board were told the devastating news. It was confirmed by the US Coast Guard that the sub had suffered a "catastrophic implosion".
