No I don't work for the BBC. I am just so used to these posts on various wildlife forums, where people stamp their feet when they don't get their own way. The subject of the time and the content came up time and time again last year on the Autumn/Springwatch forums. People saying it wasn't suitable for their children because of the subjects covered, time it was screened, why wasn't it earlier/later etc. As I have previously said, there really is no way for them to win, whatever time they put it on at, a whole host of people would be complaining about it. If you all look at it rationally, you would see that.

I appreciate what you are saying about people who are "lukewarm" about wildlife missing the programme, but I don't think they will lose too many people because of the time. I think the bigger issue is the change to format, which takes away the excitement of getting you hooked into watching it every night for 2-3 weeks. However, as previously stated, I shall reserve judgement until I have watched it.

I'm off on holiday as from tomorrow so I shall be enjoying all the wonders of the natural world first hand without a television or computer in site.

Bye bye all. x
