Autumn Watch

They could bring back Martin Hughes-Games.

No, that's ok, Ziplock 🙂

Yes, Iolo and Michaela
Gillian is good as is Chris's step-daughter Megan.

There must be others who would be good presenters but perhaps they are busy with their own projects.

I’m sure our Iolo could step up to the plate to replace Chris, it seems a real shame for the BBC to sacrifice Autumnwatch, which must be low budget compared with some of the other rubbish they show. They could start with The Wheel.

Ah, I see, now. I’ve just quickly looked at your link. Yes, I agree, if he’s feeling burnt out, then he does need to take a break for his own well being.

I hope you don’t think I’m criticising you, Callistemon . I’m not, at all. I sometimes think texting/posting can be misconstrued, and reading my own post back, it might have seemed as if I was having a go at you, which I’m not. I’m just interested in your view. 😊

I like Chris Packham.

No, I read that he wants to step back. He is Spring etc Watch.
However, others could continue, I'm sure.

Oops, posted too quickly.. “ and hold them to account”.

Why do you think that about Chris Packham, Callistemon? Do you think he’s becoming too political?
I quite like him, but I suppose you could argue that he has strong opinions. However, I think a lot of what he argues is very, very relevant, and we do need a strong voice to face some of our politicians.

Before someone comes back to say that these nature programmes are reality programmes, - yes, I know that autumn watch is a “reality” programme but it’s reality in the true sense, not in the way some of these other programmes that profess to portray our reality, eg The Apprentice, The Traitors, etc.

I'm sorry too.

Some of the programmes the BBC makes are utter rubbish and get much lower viewing figures.

However, I think Chris Packham wants to step back from TV work for a while.
