Autumnwatch 2023

Bsal

As the BBC have cancelled Autumnwatch this year Chris and Meagan have decided to run their own Autumnwatch live on youtube Monday to Thursday for the next two weeks at 7:30pm, first two episodes have been really good.

Don't know how Packham still has a career to be honest. Very dodgy character. Been caught out several times, sneakily advertising products on the show, and using his status for his own gain. Maybe the BBC has finally had enough of him.

they made a big budget TV show with him that was aired only about two months ago.

advertising which products?

I can't remember to be honest. One product was a drink of some sort. At the time the BBC admitted that he done so without permission from them. Just thought it was bloody cheeky of him to do that. Strangely enough, there is absolutely nothing on the Internet, with regards this, and other dodgy things regards Chris. Make of that what you will.

You know exactly what I'm going to make of that!

for a man who has been targetted by multiple farmer's and shooting organisations, any misbehaviour of his would have been well recorded and amplified by them, so should be easy to find mention of online.

Wouldn't you know this shite is coming from someone who has interests in hunting and fur imports.

What has that got to do with anything? I'm also interested in wildlife, and wildlife programs.

Like I said, he gets a lot of accusations thrown at him and none of it seems to have stuck. This is not the first libel action he's won AFAIK.

He has won several this year alone. He's also brought a legal challenge towards the British Prime minister for scratching timetable changing to electric cars.

This all happened before Chris focused on banning Countryside pursuits etc. That has only really taken off in the last number of years. Anyway, Chris using his position to gain financially some years ago, isn't exactly a scandal anyone could use against him today. Old news and all that.
