Yes Colin 'the rut was OK first time round but to repeat the same old 'act' albeit with some ' new actors' is a bit of a waste of time and lack of imagination. There is so much more that could be covered, which hasn't been in previous series.

I also feel the programme has become more of a 'scripted act'. I miss and I know he wasn't everybodies favourite, Bill Oddie. He didn't/couldn't stick to a script but his spontaneous comments were based on his very wide knowledge of wildlife. He always had something interesting to add and was more than a presenter who follows a script.
I will continue to watch the programme but BBC should rethink the format.

Just MHO.
