Country file

Off track a little but I used to love the old presenters of Countryfile and the old style. Must watch the Prince episode though on catchup

I agree Flower, I much prefer the old format. This new trend of jumping back and forth with loads of 'sound bites' and recaps is most annoying. I think they do it to use up more air time and suspect longer items take more thought.

The BBC have been using trailers for ages now to bring their programme lengths in line with advertising channels. Dumbing down again.

Matter of interest my DH has been on Countryfile and Country tracks with the Black Squirrels! my only claim to fame except for my 18 month only son poking Sir David Attenboroughs nose with his finger

Is it just me or are other people actually put off programmes by the trailers? I see a trailer for something that looks interesting and then by the time They've trailed it for the 50th time I've lost all interest in it.

yep Dee

The trailers come so early that by the time the programme is actually on I've long since lost interest and usually miss it.

I also prefer the old format and liked it better on a Sunday. I am afraid I will have to disagree about Charles, I think he is an extremely arrogant man who definately thinks we are all below him, whereas I don't. He is doing a job and gets very well paid for it and doesn't live a bad life.(Enough about that)
I used to look forward to the weeks weather on a Sunday morning on countryfile, I wonder why they have to change things in the name of progress or viewing figures?
