Wildlife television producer whose collaborations with Sir David Attenborough included the award-winning Life in Cold BloodOne of Britain’s leading wildlife television producers, Miles Barton collaborated closely with Sir David Attenborough for more than 25 years, turning their shared passion for reptiles into a Bafta-award-winning series, Life in Cold Blood (2008). In 2012, he made a three-part retrospective, Attenborough: 60 Years in the Wild, in which the veteran TV presenter looked back on his long and illustrious career.
Tall, pencil-thin, and wearing his trademark braces – never a
fashion statement, but simply to stop his trousers falling down – Miles, who has died aged 61 after a long illness, was a familiar and well-loved figure in the close-knit world of natural history broadcasting.
