Simon reeve

Just caught up on the last episode on the iplayer.

I regularly consider if the tv licence worth paying for, especially as i get annoyed whenever I have to listen to Vine and his tabloid crap, or BBC Breakfast prattling on for weeks at a time about strictly come dancing.

Reeve is part of the reason it remains good value, and that last show was one of the most enjoyable programs I've watched in a while. There's a guy called Will Millard who's made similar shows on Wales, which are well worth watching also.

Personally I thought the piece on Sellafield was extraordinary, and having never seen James Rebanks on TV, was very impressed by his enthusiasm.

You may not all agree with his ideas on farming, and there's certainly not a one cap fits all solution, but I couldn't help but be impressed by his enthusiasm, and passionate positivity for agriculture, and the role it has played, and needs to continue to play, in shaping the country.

Skilled communicators like James are few and far between in the world, and the more opportunities he gets to put a positive message across on our behalf, the better.

It’s a shame that the program was made in the one of the coldest barren springs there has been as it didn’t look good complaining of overgrazing by the sheep and there not being a blade of grass. Would have been better in September when everything was overgrown and needing more stock to keep on top of it.

Hi Stw88, my daughter and I would like to help Angus out on his farm for a week during lambing season (whilst she’s off school), we don’t expect payment, just the experience. If you would be so kind as to pass this on.
