Well, if you call twice a year "quite often".
In Fact it is 4 possibly 5 races!
Is this actually BBC's response to the new "Country" series starting on ITV1 on Thursday evening?
Well...
A new series, named 'Countrywise', is to start later in the year in a Thursday evening slot, supposedly a crossover between the One Show and Countryfile (Clicky!). But the interesting thing is it's presented by 'former' watchdog presenter Paul Heiney, who (to my knowlege) is still very much on Watchdog.
So when Anita appeared, I'd assumed she was going to replace Paul when he leaves, but had been drafted in early to cover for Julia. So we wait and see on that one. Also, is it not possible Julia had been planning to leave Watchdog for Countryfile anyway? You never know...
Starts on Thursday at 730pm - they are already advertising it!
BTW this Anita - is she the one that was a former contestant on The Apprentice?
Don't think so, maybe you are thinking of Saira Khan as of Beat The Boss fame.

I guess once the F1 starts the morning editions will be bumped out of the schedules quite often - perhaps that's the thinking.

], I recognise that Countryfile works fine in its slot, and I think the programme has a good mixture as it is; a nice balance between DEFRA politics, wildlife features and outdoor leisure features.
