Am I the only person who is finding the current Countryfile format utterly tedious ? I know the original always had a farming interest component but it's getting obsessive.
Tonight's edition (of which I only watched the first half) seemed to be a recap/repeat of previous editions. Having an interest in agriculture I welcome airing of the realism of issues facing farmers and Adam Henson is an excellent ambassador. So no; I don't find it tedious and wish that more people understood what goes on in the country. The disconnection of the general population from their source of food concerns me.
I used to really enjoy the bits about farming and I fully appreciate the fact that at some point somewhere the connection must be made but I liked the fact that Farmers Weekly was Farmers Weekly and Countryfile was Countryfile. Something's been lost somewhere and I can't quite put my finger on it.

Do you mean Tesco's?

Required watching in our house Chris - for that, and so many, other reasons.
Sorry.
Ummm I hate to break it to you Chris, but in spite of the best attempts of Natural England and the Dept for the Eradication of Farming and Rural Activities there is still rather a lot of farming in the countryside...
The last government kept that one quiet, but I think the people should be told 
Quote: Henson is quite remarkable.
Wasn't he always..???
OH!!
Sorry! Wrong 'Henson'

And there's me living in the countryside in a farming community. You'd think I'd know, wouldn't you

I might start watching then.
