MedusA Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 (Sorry I couldn't seem to find the Springwatch thread - Mods please feel free to move.) I'd noticed over the last couple of weeks that Chris Packham was slipping a Morrissey quote or two into his presenting. Tonight he used two in as many minutes! Is he doing it for a bet, do you think, or is he just a huge fan and they are slipping out unconsciously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 He was on the radio the other day and the presenter asked him about it. I think it's a bit of a game with him, he described it as 'slipping in a few post-punk lyrics here and there...' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 tonight's tee shirt was a Ramones reference! (by the way, I went to high school at Rockaway Beach). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedusA Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks for the clarification. I thought it might be something like that. I've even got OH watching Springwatch as a spotting exercise as he's been a huge Morrissey/Smiths fan for years and is more familiar with the quotes. I loved the one when he made Kate Humble corpse hysterically. Chris is obviously giving her nearly as much trouble as Bill did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisaroo2 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I wasn't sure when I heard that Chris was taking over from Bill but the combination really works. I once met Chris and he seemed really nice - and very knowledgeable!! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I must have missed something but what happened to Bill Oddie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 he isn't very well. He suffers from depression and when they were starting filming, he had a serious bout of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
