There is a very practical reason, one of which, of course, is it enables you in terms of continuity to cut things together, so that stuff you shot two years ago, if you really wanted to stick another thing in, you can put the two together and nobody would know the difference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">But the other important thing to me as far as I\u2019m concerned is, it seems to me if you change your costume, and wear, I don\u2019t know, some kind of\u2026fashionable thing, people say, \u201cWhy has he done that? Is it trying to tell us something? I mean, has the climate changed? Or, you know, what is he trying to do?\u201d So you are asking for attention away from what it is you\u2019re trying to talk about. So it\u2019s much better that the narrator should always have the same thing so you don\u2019t have [a situation where] he suddenly appears with a funny hat, or you know, with a feather boa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><em>\u2013\u00a0<\/em>Sir David Attenborough on his work uniform of blue shirt and beige trousers<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sir David Attenborough on Vanity | BBC Studios\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6fjPEN4a9zs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Credits:<\/strong><br \/>\nVideo (excerpted from <em>Life on Air<\/em>) from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6fjPEN4a9zs\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-0\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\nPhotograph of Sir David Attenborough from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/articles\/2014\/02\/11\/sir-david-attenborough-enough-with-the-creationists-and-climate-change-deniers.html\">The Daily Beast<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The beloved British naturalist reveals why he always wears the same thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1383,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[11],"tags":[25,29,30,41],"class_list":["post-1352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recommendation","tag-fashion","tag-identity","tag-journalism","tag-style"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/portmanteau.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/01\/1392094803629.cached.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6TvUL-lO","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/portmanteau.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/portmanteau.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/portmanteau.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portmanteau.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portmanteau.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1352"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/portmanteau.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3348,"href":"https:\/\/portmanteau.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352\/revisions\/3348"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portmanteau.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/portmanteau.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portmanteau.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portmanteau.sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
