Just switched onto this program and must say its well put together, very interesting, shame they haven't advertised it better, good presenters too with good investment in the back stories for example visiting the farms in winter, spring at various key points of the cycle,
Wish Airport Live earlier this year had got the same treatment, that was very amateur hour..

No more to be said. I hope she's back presenting more often.
Looking at the number of views for each thread, most people seem to be more interested in the best boobs/legs on TV. Well, I guess that says a lot about the British population!
And maybe many of those same people complain that the BBC never puts on interesting programmes
I dislike getting presenters involved in some things. Yes show us and explain how to pick cherries, but we don't need ten minutes from some "celebrity" presenter pretending he's going to pick more fruit than the experienced pickers.
I was going to watch it until I found out Gregg Wallace was one of the presenters.
I just cannot abide the man.
Philippa is actually really into this kind of thing (she also lives in the countryside on a farm with her family), so I assume that you are talking about Gregg Wallace
And yes, as others have mentioned, lovely to see the great Pippa back on our screens
She be perfect for The One Show.
The difference in the 2 presenters was marked, and Gregg Wallace was hugely annoying, patronizing and tried too hard to be comedic, but was just OTT. :yawn:
Phillippa on the other hand was truly excellent and I say bring her to the roster of Springwatch/Autumnwatch presenters.
Don't forget her main interest is wildlife and Ecology and she's married to a wildlife cameraman.
Not that it's important, but she did look very slinky and had got her figure back, after having 3 boys, and appearing plumper in recent years. And her voice is lovely.
Why Wallace gets so much TV time is a mystery. :rolleyes:
But the series of 3 programmes was very interesting and good to see.
I was.
That's how I felt about him too.
Wallace is indeed a pillock, but in this case he's far from an ignorant one. I thought a lot of what he did was 'filler' but it would have been even more so being done by somebody who couldn't even name a few varieties of cherry let alone be able to tell you the difference in taste between them.
He mentioned his igrorance himself when talking about new/salad potatoes.
In the veg episode I thought Pippa's tits were badly in need of some decent support
This from the person who wrote...
I'm sure Greg is a "decent bloke", but I don't think he was suited to this particular presenting role. But we are allowed opinions on the subject without accusations of being trolls.
Back on topic, I didn't see the first two in the series - are they worth viewing?
A great 3 part series.
If the BBC stopped working for the Labour party and stopped paying each other £500,000 a year and made more shows like this I might even consider getting a TV licence once again.
Except that they don't.
He gets criticised on Masterchef because 'he is only a greengrocer' but he stills gets criticised when he does a programme about growing fruit and vegetables. He can't win!
The BBC are in reciept of £3.5 billion a year of tax payers money and as Michael Grade said the other day" suffers a lack of understanding of the value of money."
Can you imagine what HBO would do with £3.5 billions a year guaranteed income?
I doubt we'd be seeing the 10 season of Strictly come nonentity dancing.
