Halcyon River Diary

Harmless Sunday evening schedule filler or the most deranged middleclass bucolic idyll wkfantasy ever to be vomited into existence by a irredeemable lackwit of a commissioning editor? Discuss.

I am conflicted. The photography is excellent and I have no reason to doubt the natural history side of things, but the lifestyle bks that has been levered into the programme sticks out like a steaming turd on the pavement and irritates more than the uninvited presence of wasps at a picnic. BBC, grrrr. And Philippa Forrester's arse seems to have grown considerably since she did TW.

Nauseating.
