Chris Packham on 'Winterwatch'

[MogTheForgetfulCat]

Referred to 'The Highlands of Scotland'. Twice! As opposed to 'The Highlands of...oh, nowhere else'.

I agree he is a prat(t?)

However, the Highlands of Scotland can be contrasted with the Lowlands of Scotland.

I have also heard places in other countries referred to as 'highlands'.

Wont watch Winterwatch because HE is on it . He is so cocky!

Oh, I think he's lovely!

I love Chris.

Not sure what's wrong with the 'Highlands of Scotland', isn't that what they are called?

Oh he's really sweet! I like him :)

Not very sociable in the flesh!

I love him. He is very at ease with himself and confident.
At least they don't call Shetland 'The Shetlands' like a lot of newspapers/programmes.

The Shetland Isles?

No?

He's a right bellend and not very nice in person. I refuse to watch anything he appears in.

I need details and factual evidence of bell-end behaviour please....am nosy

My friend is a fan and approached him. (Think she asked for autograph for her DCs.) He could not have been more abrupt.
Michaela Strachan was a hoot though!

I say Highlands of Scotland - where I live. As opposed to the Highlands of Zimbabwe (okay Eastern Highlands) :)

I thought this thread was going to be about him talking about the pinemartens surviving here because there were "less people"

i used to find him irritating but quite like him now, knows his stuff

He is a bell end..he used to go to same pubs as me in student days ...prize wanker and completely full of himself

I just don't think he really likes people very much!

is it fair to judge him from his student days though?

nah probably not

Briancox, yes The Shetland Islands/Isles or Shetland, just not the Shetlands :)

ah, thank you peeriebear

Phew!

We passed him in the street a few months ago and just said, "Hi" and smiled. He looked at us like something he had just scraped of his shoe. Miserable bgr! Agree about Michaela Strachan; lovely woman in the flesh.
