... did anyone watch it? Was on at 9pm tonight and if so what did you think?
Yes... but a lot of people who dont know a lot about hunting think hunting is only hunting foxes. Suggest blood hounds and they probally wouldnt have a clue what your going on about - probally think hunting foxes still!I come from Aberdeenshire where there isn't and never has been any hunting with hounds, I don't think farmers there (or in many other places in Scotland) would identify with lasts nights prog at all.
I thought it was an interesting prog.
However, I sat down thinking I was away to see a genuine docu about British farming and I was disapointed to find it was wrapped up in so much pro-hunt propaganda. I think it mis-represents British farmers as a whole. I come from Aberdeenshire where there isn't and never has been any hunting with hounds, I don't think farmers there (or in many other places in Scotland) would identify with lasts nights prog at all.
If it had stuck to the problems facing farming and left out the sport hunting I personally feel it would have gained more sympathy from the general public. As it was it came across as a blatant and unashamed piece of pro-hunt blog.
Anyway, better than some the sh*te they usually have on C4!
Well for me the two are not neccessarily intertwined. Farming is a much more important issue and it risks losing the support of the public if it is continually presented as being hand in pocket with bloodsports.
I was working last night, does anyone know when it will be repeated?.
Didn't say, just said that she was old and poorly.
II come from Aberdeenshire where there isn't and never has been any hunting with hounds,
What is the public's opinion of food and farming?
