Will have to enforce any rules they have on dogs if any. That woman is getting tiresome and annoying.

Well, that is the end of that. Must say i have a hard job to work up any enthusiasm. To me the highlight was the hobby coming a cropper.

I have to say it was fairly ho-hum for me too. They had some interesting nests to monitor and some great scenery from around the UK but they had 15 hours to fill over the three weeks and the material was spread a little thin. Chris's stepdaughter was relegated to a bit part player to let Michaela Strachan play a major role again which was a pity and a waste of licence payer's money as she has to be flown to and from South Africa where she lives.

Agree JS. Would be great if we could see the viewing figures say from the last 10 years. Would think they have gone south. I have a theory about strachan, she messes about a lot to cover up the fact that she dont know much.

I agree too. I don't think they made as much of the live cams this year as they have before. Maybe because not a lot happened? But also because it's almost like they planned the show a couple of weeks too early. A lot of the nests just had brooding parents on them without any feeding or fledging which is the most interesting part. If they started the whole thing this week instead you'd have seen a lot more action I feel.

I agree too about Megs. She really has been the star of the show for the last year or two and she only had a couple of recorded reports. Maybe she was busy with her 'day job' though.

There was a time when it was a "must watch". Less so now because there seems to be little else different to show and the presenting staff are less engaging. I'll probably end up watching because there is nothing better to watch but I really am indifferent. :shrug:

I still like to watch this but some of the presenters can waffle on at times.
