Got this on in the background. What a load of pish.

The Fish Eagle eats carrion & fish,
Guess that is why it is called a Fish Eagle.
Who is this aimed at, someone who lives in Englandshire that does not get out too often.
To think I pay a licence to watch this drivel.

Far, far worse than that - the new Dr Who is to be a woman. It seems nothing at the BBC is now safe from the ravages of cultural Marxism, virtue signalling and political correctness. :lol:

I was having a similar chat earlier about why I don't watch Countryfile anymore (Completely different programme from when I was growing up). I think you hit the nail on the head Alan its aimed at the wider audiences of London Brummy and all other cities of the UK and it presented in such a patronising manner.
I was having a rant about Wild UK elsewhere yesterday.
I found it hard to believe it was possible to "dumb down" a subject so much.

You can get odds of only 7:1 against the next James Bond being Jane Bond. Sheryl Holmes? Tarzania? Robina Hood? Harriet Potter? In the interest of fairness we can also have - John of Arc, The Master Marple Mysteries, and Henry of Troy.
AND !!! the next time I watch a wing-tagged Hebridean sea eagle take a (VERY) dead mackerel bait fish from the Kylerhea narrows, filmed from the boat of a good friend of mine, with the sonorous tones of the narrator telling me that this is "wild" footage of the natural behaviour of a rare and endangered species I will have to chuck a brick through the TV I do not watch this shit any more.
AND, and AND, don't start me on pine martens (or pine martins, as they are frequently named).
I was guessing that the truely "live" bits amounted to 10% of the time ..... OOOOOOH look a wolf sitting on a sand bank :roll:
No apparent tight limits on the shooting budget with a helicopter and a base camp of over twenty tents.

Many believe the BBC is going to hell in a handcart. On the one hand it's run by home counties Scottish hating right wingers, on the other some feel it's dominated by social justice warrior politically correct pinko nutjobs.
What most agree on though is the choice of a white woman for Dr Who simply demonstrates BBC bias and white privilege at its worst and until the part is given to a black wheelchair bound lesbian transgender Muslim woman genuine social justice and privilege correction will never be truly achieved. I have to say I agree wholeheartedly. :lol:
Your new choice of correct Dr Who would surely be stoned to death in the first episode !!
The way this classic long running BBC children's Sci-Fi show has been abused by some with their own agendas in recent years any audience it has left will probably have to be stoned before they can bring themselves to watch it.
This is now a multi-national, multi-millions of poondies best seller for Auntie Beeb. How else can they afford the salaries ..... ? :shock:
