Watching Countryfile

[Matt..]

Is this a sign that i'm getting old? or is it good Sunday evening TV?!

[RedWhiteMonkey]

Same here, but I think its more of a sign that there's nothing else on worth watching.

No. It's a sign the BBC have chucked it. Countryfile is not, never has been, and never will be a peak-time programme. It is, at times an admittedly diverting, minority interest (i.e. farmers) programme, which should be on at about 11AM on a Sunday, just before the Waltons.

I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit.

But I am 39 on Wednesday.
Has moved further away from Farming and the Countryside more than ever.

It clashes with Top Gear, which is better and doesn't pretend to be anything other than entertainment. That Adam bloke isn't too bad, he does a good job of telling the public what farmers do and why they do it, the rest is more geared toward people that live in the suburbs and once drove through some countryside rather than work there.
