Also loved Deller's "Hen Harrier" - I can remember that incident and feeling contempt at the time that no-one had the courage to admit culpability.

dj thought what Mombiot said about how things don't get discussed was spot on. Loved the "Wolves change rivers" - programmes like that give me goose bumps and a feeling of hope that the world isn't entirely mad.

I watched it, and recorded it to watch again. I thought it was excellent.

Did you know Chris Packham is the brother of Jenny Packham, the dress designer, well known for her wedding dresses and a bit of a favourite with the Duchess of Cambridge?

As soon as his name is mentioned I'm off.......he's put me off for good from watching a number of previously enjoyed programmes like Springwatch.

I'm afraid I'm another who can't watch Chris Packham.

Oh - the programme was on 11/06 on BBC4 and called Chris Packman's Natural Selection. I am a big fan of George Mombiot, always read his column, and have always loved Deller's stuff. I also admire Packman's fight for various wildlife causes like the mass shooting of migratory birds.

Personally I don't like Chris Packham..........

No, I didn't see it and have no idea what you're going on about.

Please at least tell us what the title of the programme was, what channel and when it was on...hmm

Did anyone see the programme with Chris Packman, George Mombiot and Jeremy Deller? It was sooooo good. Sometimes television is worth every penny of its fee and this was one of those times. I so identified with everything they said and work for.
