David Attenborough, can you please narrate all of our lives?
Yesterday, the legendary naturalist paid BBC Radio 1’s Greg James a visit to discuss his new documentary series,
The Hunt.
In the middle of the interview, James did all of us a huge favour and asked Attenborough to narrate the opening 90 seconds of Adele's record-breaking new super ballad 'Hello.'
Watch and listen to the master at work below:

Here’s the full transcript for your reading pleasure:
"The year is 2015. The world appears to have a green tint to it, but there are also some dead insects in the foreground, but don’t worry about that for now.
"Look, as the world’s most famous pop star zooms down a dirt track in an old Mini, money certainly hasn’t changed her.
"Backing against strong winds and the weight of expectation, she’s convinced that now is the time to strike, she, like all pop stars, needs to hunt to survive. But there’s a problem, the signal is poor and she hasn’t upgraded her handset since 1999. Hashtag flip phone.
"She goes inside to seek shelter from the elements and to find a land line. Her surroundings are unfamiliar and unwelcoming but this is no match for such a cool customer, so she decides to tidy up a bit. Oh, dusty, isn’t it?”
"We are about to witness one of the great phenomena of the natural world, it’s important for such a delicate and finely tuned animal that the lighting and setting is just right. and now it is. The lesser spotted Adele is about to be everywhere again. Hello!"
Now, we are left to hope and wait for Morgan Freeman’s version. Go on, you know you want to.
