Attenborough is a TV personality who makes animal documentaries. Like other science popularizers, he is happy to repeat myths about subjects he doesn't know about.
If you can find a scholarly source that agrees with what he says here, I'll be very interested to see it. Three seconds in a pop documentary is insufficient. Please don't accept sources just because they agree with your prejudices.

You keep repeating this. I'm looking for some kind of scholarly, historical source.
Quote:The science of the 19 th century gave scientists clues as to the age of the Earth but I doubt that this spread in every school, from elementary and up in the 19 th century.
There were clues to the age of the earth long before that, too. Are you aware of these?
Quote:It’s probably after nuclear weapons were developed that the general public took notice of what a physicist does.
Is there some evidence or reason to believe this, or is another thing you've made up because it sounds right?
I urge you to read something by someone who has studied the field. Making shit up is not a reliable source for facts.
