Chris Packman and friends

You make my point for me loop

Are we the only ones to have watched the programme, then, whitewave?

I agreed with George Monbiot about population and consumption. It's too easy to focus on the countries with the biggest population growth without realising that they are not the ones with the greatest consumption.
I also liked the argument about Countryfile being sanitised, and millionaires posing as peasants, with this country having the second most concentrated ownership of land.

Yes I think we are dj Monbiot always make such a good argument, he is my DS's hero as well - DS works in the environment agency, so the environment is a big thing with him, and he agrees with Monbiot's stance.

We were away on the 11th but I hope to watch it on iPlayer this afternoon.

For anyone else who missed it.

My DD2 was always a huge fan of Chris Packham, until she saw a picture of him beside some kind of huge fish he had landed! She wrote a letter telling him what she thought of angling, but never did get a reply.

Before that, he had once actually been on the phone to her (!) trying to flog her some kind of wildlife holiday in a venture he was trying to promote. Don't know how he got the number. Some fan club I suppose.

I can't stand the man myself.

please to see you are nearly back to your old self jing

I think it's human nature to be put off a programme if one finds the presenter irritating. It's a bit like going off a subject at school if you didn't like the teacher unfortunately.

Would it have been different if it had been on Radio 4? You wouldn't have been able to see all the animals, but they would have had to say more.

The people, I mean, not the animals.
