Steve29 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Has anyone seen the articles about them excluding gun traders, shops, etc, from this show? Absolutely disgusting in my view and completely destroys any illusion of the impartiality the BBC are supposed to have. They are lumping the shooting community into the same category as criminals! I certainly won't be going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymondley Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Countryfile is as much about the real countryside as Top gear was about real motoring. They're all about "entertainment" based around a theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Countryfile is as much about the real countryside as Top gear was about real motoring. They're all about "entertainment" based around a theme. Exactly that!!! Its what they want people to see, not what is actually relevant in the countryside...

B25Modelman Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I have noticed that most of the presenters, that own their own farms, have lovely new 4x4's, tractors and implements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penelope Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Although I have not seen Sunday's episode, I did catch a glimpse of Robin Page and the Head Teacher near Portsmouth that runs clay shooting lesson for his pupils. BASC were providing the tutors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Whilst I agree that it has little to do with real country life I have seen them include clay shooting clips at least twice recently and without any judgemental comments. However, Adam's bloody sheep still dominate those (ever decreasing) parts of the show that aren't simply travelogs from around the country. What the BBC fails to understand, not just with Countryfile but right across the board, is that impartiality and relentless political correctness are mutually exclusive.
