Sounds like the beeb will be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire if they give him the job.

Bill Oddy was always annoying; in fact in meant I didn;t bother to watch the last series of AW was he anoyed me too much... He has always been grumpy, it was just kept off the TV. It's not possible to do that on live TV though...
Simon King is great, but he likes to be out "in the field" so to speak I believe, and that is where he excels...
I think Chris Packham would be good...

Russel Brand ? or is he still he Beeb's sin bin ?
Anyone but Nick Knowles, he'd defo make switch off, just like he's done with Wild About Your Garden
Bob Flowerdew ?
Mind you, I wouldn't mind sitting next to Kate for a few weeks. I'd teach her a thing or two about birds and bees. 8)

A very good presenter of wildlife/nature programmes on BBC2 Wales and S4C is Iolo Williams but mabe he is not famous enough for the BBC.

Kate Humble gets on my nerves, why couldnt they get rid of HER instead? They need someone quirky not just a boring presenter who knows his wildlife...... Dont know if I'll watch it without Oddie...replacement will have to be good!
Agree with the Monty Donn suggestion...... maybe

Hi Gen and welcome to A4all,
I just wanted to say I agree with you, I much prefer Bill Oddie to Kate, and I thought she interrupted him and put him down quite a lot at the beginning of the last series of Autumnwatch and gave up watching as I thought she was so rude. I hope the new presenter will hold his/herown with her.

Fantastic. I really hoped it would be either Simon Cowell (again, not he of X-Factor!) or Chris and Chris it is! ;D
Chris Packham and Martin Hughes-Games will present the new series of Springwatch and Autumnwatch, the BBC has announced.
They will join existing presenters Simon King, Kate Humble and Gordon Buchanan when Springwatch returns to BBC Two in late May.
Hughes-Games, who previously produced the show, said of the move: "It will be a real challenge swapping life behind the camera to life in front of it, but I am really looking forward to it."
Packham, who is vice-president of the RSPB, added: "To be asked to be the new presenter of Springwatch and Autumnwatch was a dream come true and I hope to make a real contribution to the team."
The move follows Bill Oddie's decision to quit the show earlier this year.

Bill Oddie is suffering from depression, perhaps that is why he came across as grumpy, it is very difficult to hide when it gets so bad.
I wish him a speedy recovery, & lots of joy in his spare time.
I think Chris Packam will do a wonderful job as presenter he is very knowledgeable indeed about wildlife.

Bill Oddie is in hospital suffering from depression, he gets it really bad every two or three years, but Springwatch usually helps him get better, so he must be bad this time,
I also wish him well and hope he gets well soon.
I do wish some posters would think before they type ::) depression isn't funny.
If anyone has to take over from Bill, I love Chris Packham,
Chris Packham AND Simon King on the same show.... Heaven :P/ shades xxx

Pre-series interview with the hosts. I think Chris will be great and it's nice to see the chemistry between him and Kate. I'm looking forward to May 25th! :)
