Richard Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I have just been subjected to watching Johnny Kingdon - her indoors wanted to watch the programme when he visited SCOT LAND (to follow up to his visit to LAP LAND - as he kept telling everyone) What is the BBC doing spending our licence money on such a moronic imbecile? I have never been so patronised in my entire life. This programme would have been insulting to the intelligence of the average 4 year old. Please please give us wildlife programmes narrated by David Attenborough, Kate Humble or the terrific Simon King. Please please please do NOT subject us to infantile, patronising pathetic drivel from some partially (giving the benefit of the doubt) educated twerp from goodness knows where, who really hasn't got a clue about where he is and what he is doing. I didn't like him much. And today I have just been to Wicken Fen. What a fantastic Nat. Trust maintained fen. Brilliant. And after that we went to Anglesea Abbey. Nice gardens. And if the BBS want to televise anything over here, don't send idiot Kingdom. He should be sent home to work in his garden. Not on the telly.

Snowy Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Never heard of him Richard! Won't bother looking out for him on that recommendation though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I have to agree with you Richard. We watched the first episode of his series on BBC2 a while ago and found him irritating in the extreme so never got further than the first 10 minutes.

chelsea Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I have taped it because I LOVE scotland. Dont like him though, and neither do the locals around here (he isnt a popular man here ). Im about 30 minutes from Exmoor where he does most of his filming. hubby cant stand him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Never 'eard of him . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 So you're are not keen then Richard....am I right in thinking. I don't like him much. A local "character" made good. A genuine poacher turned gamekeeper to boot. Thick as two short planks. He looks as if he'd smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 A genuine poacher turned gamekeeper to boot. I think thats why a lot of local people dont like him. He was a grave digger for 50 years for his local parish also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 never heard of him either but have been watching a round Britain thing with one of the Dimblebys, never know which is which!? It's been interesting but he's intensely irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
