Mike Higgins , who gave the show 2 stars out of 5 , writing on '' The Independent '' , billed the encounter as " awkward " and gave a negative review of the documentary , finding it " not much more than a promo for Björk 's last album , '' Biophilia '' , and its tour " and further stating : " The 87-year-old does n't so much speak in complete paragraphs as lectures in complete chapters . In their conversations – on crystallography , the power of the human larynx , et al – Attenborough was in transmit mode , jabbing away with his index finger . All Björk could do was chip in now and then , in her Reykjavík by way of south London accent . When the big man let rip on the notion that all " song " in the natural word is about sex , and so , therefore , is popular music , Björk reacted as we all did , I suspect , and looked a bit embarrassed . " The documentary pulled 528,000 viewers during its original outing at 7 p.m. with a viewing share of 3.15 % . It failed to match Channel 4 average slot score of 864,000 viewers and 4.11 % share for the previous 12 months . It got beaten by a rerun of the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony on BBC Three which got 825,000 viewers with an average share of 4.5 %
