    I can just about forgive the BBC for their cretinous Springwatch/Autumnwatch programs, even though they give the animals names and story lines like it's a ****ing soap. What I can't forgive, however, is them giving over an hour every evening this week to 'Lambing Live'.

    My first complaint is, who's interested? If you live in a town, you've no interest; if you're a farmer, take a stroll down to your bloody field and look at your own lambs if you're not sick of the sight of them already.

    My second complaint is, there's no story here. Lambs are born. Some live, some die. The rest is padding and no amount of maudlin music, or pictures of Kate Humble welling up when Flossie snuffs it can disguise the fact.

    Finally, they already inflicted this dross on us last year. Is there really such a lack of imagination at the BBC that they have to recycle the same crap year in year out?


    Rant over.

    I like Countryfile and lambs are cute but I agree, I have no need for live lamb "TV feeds" unless they come with mint sauce.

    "Lambing Live" - that's child porn for about half the blokes in Yorkshire.

    I'd rather watch Lambing Live than 90 per cent of the ****e they broadcast on the BBC. Dumbed-down ****e like Eastenders, River City and The One Show.

    Preferred Sheep Trek.

    "Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no sheep has gone before."

    Ooooh-oooh-wooo-woo-woooo-woo-wooooo...
