And it looks like the third post is copy pasted from that thread too, though it's a different member. If tractormadlad is pete7, why did he bother to reregister? From what I can see, pete7 isn't banned.

It's The same thread with the SAME member doing the same reply on the second post!

I was the third poster to this thread. Let me assure you, I did not copy and paste my post. I can only assume that Television Forum member WillPS must have gone back to the previous thread and edited his post to be the same as mine. To what end? I have no idea.

Just discovered this site and decided to post a reply to the farmer who is unhappy with the changes to Countryfile. I too was a regular Sunday lunchtime watcher (though not a farmer) and found it informative and interesting. Then it moved to evening - no bad thing - and suddenly transformed into the Matt and Julia Show. The shift away from hard reportage to the Blue Peter approach to reporting is indicative of the BBC's (and TV's in general, it should be said) kow-towing to the cult of celebrity and flavour-of-the-month personalities.
Keep Adam by all means, and let's keep plugging away about the problems faced by farmers and conservationists and how they are overcoming them -- or not. I suspect we may be in a minority on this, but I won't be returning to the fold until we get less of the One Show badinage from Mr Baker and Ms Bradbury. Perhaps we should start a campaign to reinstate J Craven to his rightful place, or is he just too far over the hill like the rest of us?

On the other hand - the ratings don't lie. Countryfile is now a hugely successful show, with a huge audience (often it is the most watched Factual show of the week). Some people may have preferred the old format at lunchtime, but there were far fewer people watching it.
Country File was a PBS programme, directed for farmer and workers in the country side, not some jolly sunday night viewers
