Autumnwatch.

... returns this eve at 8 on 2.

For whatever reason I didn't really enjoy Springwatch earlier in the year but am looking forward to this season's edition.

Just saw a clip on The One Show and thought for a minute it had missed episodes, but thankfully not.
Wish Bill Oddie was able to return, but I think he's currently suffering from mental health issues. Also, did he have a fall out with the BBC and never returned to Springwatch?

I thought Springwatch was better than ever. I preferred that they were all in different places.

I still miss Martin Hughes-Games.

Kate Humble and Michela Strachan, I could happily sit and watch them two for an hour. You could also include Elle Harrison and Helen Skelton from countryfile as well, lovely!!

Me too, enjoying autumn watch. Just shows less is more.

ETA, Congrats to daughter too, not even phased with the discussion of french kissing foxes.

Kate Bumble has a program about running farms and small holdings on at the moment, roughly 8pm on Tues.

Like Autumnwatch, pleasant enough viewing.

That borderline weirdo Packham making fun of Michaela's dancing, an outrageous calumny.

Phfft, bloody cheek, she is a trained dancer, a TV star AND a hornbag icon of boyhood
fantasies back in the day when Packham was in his bedroom dissecting roadkill in the
manner of Jeffrey Dahmer.

[loughran]

That Welsh bloke just called Michaela, Mikola. !

Good for Chris Packham:

Absolutely, all 4 of them !

Really enjoying this, as usual. Chris Packham’s stepdaughter is a star. She makes it look effortless, unlike you know who.

I see Winterwatch is on atm, only just caught the last bit of last nights and missed Mon and Tues.
What were the white Badgers all about?
Have set up to record the others.

If Chris Peckham wants to become a Politician thats ok.
But please don't let him use the BBC as his platform.
Everything he pokes his nose into seems to leave less wildlife!
Grouse Moors becoming weed beds with no ground nesting birds left etc. Buying woodland then stopping predator control etc.

As the BBC binned this, they’ve made their own. On every night for the next two weeks and really rather good.

Cheers for the link - watched the first 4 this weekend to fill some time. Pretty decent and nice to be able to have the presenters talk about the important stuff without having to do the mandated sanitisation on certain topics to ensure the BBC don't fall foul of government / culture sec department, etc.
