| Re: Autumnwatch on at a new time
As I've said, I could record it. But it's not the same, there won't be the same buzz among the younger viewers.
Plus - and this is the absolutely key point for me - people who aren't that bothered about nature won't make this effort. So we'll lose possibly hundreds of thousands of viewers who might only be mildly interested in wildlife, but who the programme normally draws in and manages to enthuse.
The breadth of the programme's appeal will be lost, especially amongst the next generation of potential ecologists. |
