Just love Springwatch, an hour of sanity in a mad world. Beautiful photography, always learn something new. Great presenters, I'm always happy when it comes round. Did anyone see the pine martens playing on the trampoline and ropes, funniest video ever.

I do like some of it, but spring is well and truly over. 90% of the programme seems to be nesting/fledging birds, which is all very nice, but what about actual spring?

It's pretty dull. Like most of the bbc, kids tv for adults.

I saw the pine martens. They were lovely. I enjoy watching the fox cubs as well. Love all the presenters.

Well, despite being a senior I'm glad I'm still a kid at heart! I think it appeals to all ages, there are serious bits, fun bits and scientific bits. For a whole hour I forget the troubles of the world. Wonder where Gillian is this series?
here in NE Scotland Spring is not quite finished yet, we're well behind the southern UK, everything is late this year.

@FizzingAda I agree with you. It takes you to places you would never normally see. And I'm unlikely to see ospreys or natterjack toads in the middle of Manchester.😅

DH and I love the Blue Peter style props they use to explain things.

Loved the pine martens playing in the garden, very jealous.
It’s a very calming programme I think, as you say you can switch off and forget your troubles for a while. Although the male peregrine falcon ripping the baby’s leg off was horrific 😩

As a side note, anyone notice Michaela’s eye? It looked a bit droopy and I wondered if she has something wrong with it.

I love it, too. Grew up with Chris and Micheala on the Really Wild Show (and the Hit Man and Her)
It's a great programme with some cute bits and some fairly gruesome bits (blue tits and the Peregrine male 😪)

Michaela Strachan discoursing like Andrea Dworkin discussing snail sex just now

I ❤️ Iolo! He just loves what he does, and knows it so well, and conveys that with such enthusiasm.

The faces on him and Chris about the slug apophallation though... 😄 🐌 😳 I think Michaela was enjoying that...

apophallation!

That's the badger. It's as if Valerie Solanas were here with us👀

I hadn't thought about Gillian not being there. I love her voice and the way she speaks.

I don't like Gillian at all as a presenter. She seems really stilted and awkward to me.

Valerie Solanas! One for the teenagers there.

FizzingAda · 01/06/2024 09:13

Yes, Michaela had a lot of fun with those slugs……
I wasn't keen on Gillian to start with, but I think she was very nervous. She settled into it though, and I quite miss her on this series.
