We Complain to the BBC About David Attenborough’s Producer

BBC wildlife producer and director Fergus Beeley shocked a family on Saturday when he got out of his car and launched an angry tirade against them. Beeley was heard calling the family ‘wankers’ and ‘sluts’ and telling them to ‘get back in the car before you die’.

Mr Gale also claims Beeley grabbed hold of him around the throat and ‘raised his fist in a threatening manner’.

Mr Beeley, worked with Sir David Attenborough on many films including the landmark series, Life of Birds. He was Executive Producer and Presenter of many award-winning films for BBC Natural World, PBS and National Geographic Explorer. He was series producer of the award-winning series ‘Planet Earth – the future’ for BBC, Discovery and NHK. In 2014 - 2015 Fergus was Director of Fountain Digital Labs. Virry app won a Webby and BAFTA Award in 2015. As a Media Consultant Fergus advises on creative multi-platform strategies. 

Beeley is an Ambassador for Steppes Travel, Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society, President of the Wildlife Conservation Film Festival and Patron, Flamingo Conservation Rift Valley. 

We complained to the BBC

Dear Sir/Madam

I have just witnessed David Attenborough’s BBC wildlife producer and director on Facebook, going ballistic in a road rage incident, making death threats, committing assault by grabbing another motorist by the arm and acting in a very intimidating and aggressive manner.

We can all have an off-day; however, this is unacceptable. The BBC have a duty to report this to the police and take disciplinary action. Working for the BBC comes with a sense of duty at work and off-duty employees still represent a national institution and should have a sense of responsibility.

The public does not pay a licence fee to support thugs. Mr Beeley should have had the intelligence to calm himself and step-back. This also shows a lack of judgement on Mr Beeleys’  part?

Many ordinary people in much less privileged position would expect the sack if they behaved like this. Mr. Beeleyon knew what he was doing, he knew he was being filmed.

The BBC must act to protect the integrity of the organisation and show that it will not turn a blind eye to this type of anti-social behaviour.
