<p>The world’s most revered wildlife presenter said he does not know whether the corporation will survive the threats of increasing commercialisation.</p>
<p>He told The Times: “When I joined, the BBC was … modelled on the civil service. If you went in there, you went in for life. You didn’t get a huge income but you had a pension. The idea that you went there to make a fortune was ludicrous. You went there for public service.</p>
<p>“The shift that has happened to the BBC has been two-fold: technological but also very, very important, the entry of commercial attitudes and that has totally changed the BBC and the BBC is going to have to solve that question.”</p>
