    I just think there's so many horrible, noisy, 'shouty' tv programmes around that it's nice just to watch something pleasant and calm for a change. If it's informative as well -so much the better.

    just watched last night's springwatch (iplayer), all about moths and butterflies, well worth a look. I'd stopped watching these programmes, the presentation had got a bit too childish but this wasn't too bad. interesting stuff

    I agree with you Nutcutlet( oh you make my mouth water everytime I see your name....must make some!)

    I "muted" when Chris Pecham came on Spring watch as I found him too patronising.He has toned down a bit now and I did enjoy the butterflies.

    Thank you Fairygirl........I  have been very ill for a while and thought I was losing it!! image

    Jatnik - I have to agree with you about Chris Packham - don't care for his style at all so I don't watch Springwatch - it's what the off button's for! The moth/butterfly was programme was very enjoyable although I missed some of it as I didn't know it was on. I often use the subtitles instead of having the sound on if I don't like the presenters! image

    Im glad other people feel that Springwatch has dummed down. Bring back Kate Humble and Bill Oddie. However I do like Chris Packham getting as many song titles from a particular punk band during the last series.

    As for Monty his dog shares my name and I keep thinking he is calling me. To be fair I have usually had a glass or two by that time on a friday. I think Monty is an institution and a wonderful advocate for all the good things a garden can do both for its creator and for many other creatures. Long may he reign.

    Oh please! Nigel is an utter delight. Such a gentle disposition, with his waggy tail,and general countenance. Monty is superb too. How can anyone not like him?

    I love watching Gardeners' World and Nigel is a lovely part of it!

  • I like seeing Nigel, looking forward to seeing that hedge grow. I dont normally watch springwatch without kate, I've no issues with Packham he can be funny with them Bowie songs. I recorded last nights, watched this morning it was very interesting.
