Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough😁👍!
I had the pleasure of working with David for his series 'Natural Curiositys' in 2014 and our real fleas performed faultlessly😁👍!
David asked specifically for a flea circus and the producers came straight to Svensons😉👍. David was genuinely fascinated by the harnessing of the fleas and insisted on watching me harness every one🤣! We got every shoot on the first take, which is unheard of in the animal filming world😉👍! Because of this first take filming David and myself had two days of just hanging around waiting for the film crews etc. So we ended up simply spending our time drinking tea, eating, chatting about fleas, life and anything else that we felt like discussing😁👍. Spending time with David was like meeting an old friend and it's a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life😁👍!
And don't forget, if you would like your very own flea circus, Svensons are ready to build you the best available😁👍! (Please email [email protected] for more information 😉👍)
