Not only is Chris Packham taking a break from  his T.V. exposure, but the BBC has decided to cancell Autumnwatch and halve the length of Winterwatch 2024 ! in the latest Ratings Row.

I have always been a staunch supporter of the BBC but some of the decisions it has made recently have got me starting to doubt that loyalty. We used to have our own local news from a studio in in Cambridge but that has been gone back to Norwich and our region hardly gets a mention now!

Best decision to get rid of this canned programme and the eco warriors and air mile squanderers

Not too much wrong with the programme, they just need new presenters. We have stopped watching it, I find the woman on it really annoying.

We don't watch it either, possibly the two remaining programmes will be enough for those who enjoy it. I always found it too "set up " I find the BBC get obsessed with certain things but maybe I'm on news overload. frown

I'm finding BBC News has declined. Too much padding about "Deirdre who has swum the length of the Serpentine for a transgender dog charity" or some such. I'm often tending to dip into Sky or Al Jazeera now.

CY,  I think I should take a hot strong pot of tea and some Ginger Nuts until I get the 'transgender dog charity' out of my mind  surprised. If I don't I can forsee a bad nightmare or three coming my way yell

I stopped watching it years ago despite my love of nature.

Too much "Jolly Hockey Sticks" and Patronising for my liking.

If I'm going to watch anything I'd watch Iolo's programme on BBC Wales.

Quite surprising to find so much commonality in the responses.

Big fan of all the " watches" and will miss Autumn  Watch. Think the BBC have made some bad decisions recently.

We too have lost of local news program from Oxford, to be replaced with news from Southampton 🥺
