Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo had been motivate on the famed green sofa on Tuesday (October 29) interviewing stars Wayne Sleep and Lashana Lynch about their fantastic careers. But amidst the interview with the stars, Roman introduced one other section to the note.
Explaining that they’d teamed up with axed programme Autumnwatch, Roman and Clara handed the reins over to naturalist Chris Packham to state about badgers in Oxford. Roman talked about: “This week The One Show and Autumnwatch are joining forces to bring the brilliant sites of British wildlife to your front room. And we can actually go live now to Chris Packham. Christ tell us where abouts you are.”
Chris answered: “Hello! Yes I’m here at Wytham Woods just outside Oxford. It’s very very beautiful but it’s also a very special place indeed,” he added.
But despite the welcoming replace, fans had been left displeased with the fast section and demanded the BBC to raise motivate the particular programme, Autumnwatch.
Heading over to X of their droves, one viewer talked about: “Is that all we get for Autumn Watch… 5 flipping mins?? What a pointless segment that was. Hang your heads in shame BBC and bring back the proper programme.”
One other talked about: “Watching #TheOneShow only and I say only to see #Autumnwatch segment with #ChrisPackham how the @bbc decided to scrap this show which shows off the beautiful scenery and wildlife in our country. Defies me #BBC #BringBackAutumnwatch.”
A third viewer fumed: “AUTUMNWATCH!!! Pi***s me off that we get an endless feed of sodding sport ALL year round and the brilliant Autumnwatch gets crowbarred into 10 mins for a few nights on the One Show! Sick of paying licence fee for sports programmes!
Another angry viewer penned: “Thats a pathetic bloody autumnwatch. It must be an hour prolonged and no longer on this pile of s***e.”
Autumnwatch’s cancellation was lately announced after being on air for an astonishing 17 years. The BBC talked about at the time that extra cash would as an different be invested into its sister programmes.
Formulation of the BBC commentary learn: “These are challenging times financially and we need to make difficult decisions and focus our resources on content that has the highest impact.
“Sadly, this methodology that Autumnwatch would per chance also no longer be persevering with. As an different, we are investing extra cash into Springwatch and Winterwatch, as they’re most correctly-preferred by audiences.”
The One Show airs Mondays-Fridays at 7pm on BBC One.
