All rather a matter of opinion Chris. And while I agree with much of what you say I would take issue with the "right presenters". I know a lot of people like Bill Oddie but I also know that I'm far from alone in finding him totally cringe-worthy and completely unwatchable. Any presenter that makes half the audience run screaming from the room is hardly the "right presenter" in my book!

This year was the first time I've watched Springwatch for many years and I am very grateful that I will now have the opportunity to watch Autumnwatch too, whatever the format and transmission time.
