    The latest BBC outrage.

    Sorry, but was Packham actually involved in the interview with Ian Botham? The article you link to on Facebook suggests he was. However, Chris Packham is not a BBC presenter - i.e. He does not present programmes on a retainer. Aside from Springwatch etc, he is not a regular presenter on the...
