Digging Deep

[Trixiebelle]

Did anyone see that programme this evening?

What a pile of s**te!

I tuned in an hour too early to see the Golden Eagles with Bill Oddie and saw a couple of IDIOTS decemating a garden.  ???

it's the first time I've 'watched' it, needless to say won't be watching again, agree with your description, WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE!!!!, I watched maybe 3 minutes, just before bill oddie came on  ???

[Mrs Ava]

This has been mentioned before and yes, we all agreed that it was POOP!  I watched the first one, and then caught one of the others and it was painful to watch.

Bill Oddie on the other hand is just FAB!  I love his enthusiasm about nature in all it's forms.  And what was that Eagle up to bothering that poor deer!  Amazing stuff.

[wahaj]

booo! hiss!!!!! such blasphemous tripe of a so called gardening program.

it's truely awful. i even complained to points of view.....but i dont know when and if they'll mention it.

just.....sickening.

[mc55]

positively dreadful programme - I was unlucky to catch some of last weeks ... the presenters are enough to freak anyone out.

[triffid]

And the most awful thing about these awful reviews?

I'm now compelled to tune in next week (for at least a few minutes) so I can see for myself just how appalling this programme is!  ;D

Again What is a TV?   Come on over to the dark side... not even a standby LED to watch!
;D

i don't understand that really. i think everyone should have a TV. i'm a 90s child and watching TV and playing computer games were all kids did. But i don't watch it more than an hour a day really. and that's only programs like planet earth....or GW...

it can be very very educational.....and it has a lot to offer than crap programs like digging deep. you just have to look for them.

[Trixiebelle]

OOPS! Sorry ... didn't realise this had already been covered!

But PMSL @ writing to Points of View  ;D Did they air your concerns Wahaj!!!

And yes .. those eagles were amazing weren't they EJ  ;D

BILL ODDIE IS KING .... LONG LIVE BILL ODDIE  ;D

RIGHT! Off to finish the winter digging and rid my sordid mind of norty thoughts about Bill  ;D

lol. i've no idea how to find out if they have. i don't watch POV religiously.....so maybe they've already showed it? or maybe it wasn't worded all that well....or maybe they've not had any other complaints (which i very much doubt).

[Mrs Ava]

HAHAHAAHAH TRIXIE!  You did make me larf!  I watched King Bill again tonight on how to watch wildlife where he was up to his armpits in murky water looking for raft spiders!  He rocks!

And don't apologise, the program is such tripe it is worth mentioning again, and triffid, it is well worth tuning in for a larf and cringe!

[beejay]

As you would expect, there have been numerous strongly worded threads on this programme on the beeb boards. We had 2 participants join in which was excellent. My view is that although you can argue about whether the end result was good, bad or indifferent, but the 2 'designers' completely dominated the show in a bad way & totally detracted from the reasons for the re-designs.

We hope, vainly I expect, that the views expressed get back to the programmes producers. Some people also wrote to POV & a complaint was read out after the first week's programme.

I always have a bit of a wrestle with tele ownership, I am dead against sitting watching tripe for hours on end, and we spend most of the warmer months sitting in the conservatory listening to music.  But I also know that the tele has formed a large part of my life, if it wasn't for Geoff Hamilton, I don't think I would have very much interest in gardening at all.  As you say, picking and choosing, and limiting time spent in front of the "box" is prolly the best option for me.

I love Johnny Kingdom LOL!

Oi fink ees a bit mad oi do.

[Mrs Ava]

Ooooo Love Johnny Kingdom, and he lives just down the road a bit from my nanny and grandad!  Him and Bill Oddie - HEAVEN!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

[saddad]

In my mind Bill Oddie is still in the Goodies last had a tv in 1979... which sort of dates me a bit!
;D
and the bit I really don't get Wahaj is why people have a problem with me not wanting a tv... I teach kids off the Braunstone and they just can't get their heads round it at all!
::)

I don't think anybody has a problem with your choice of not having a tv, but  when I am reading these threads you give the impression that you have a problem with us watching it. Sorry, but your posts make you seem a bit smug and we are all mindless idiots for having one.

I have cable tv with the choice of nearly 100 chanels to watch. A lot of them are mindless drivel, but they are far outweighed with some very informative chanels. News 24 is on as I type as it saves me getting a comic newspaper.

Now we all know that your comments about tv are not malicious and I am not having a go at you, it is just the way it comes over.

[Emagggie]

Ace, I for one have never had that impression. :o

[ACE]

Sorry substitute WE for ME,  It is my personal opinion.But he did ask why we had a problem.
