Did anyone watch last night on channel 2 the programme Johnny Kingdom - a year on Exmoor. It was about an amateur cameraman filming wildlife on Exmoor. He was a sort of wildlife Fred Dibnah and quite a character. Anyway it was just the first of ten so if you want to check it out its on again next Friday at 8 - 8.30 on 2.

Yes, he`s excellent isn`t he? Down here we`ve had other regional programmes featuring him so we knew what to expect. We`ll definitely be watching the remainder of the series.

Hi all,
Yes we watched it too!
What a great character he is isn't he?
We're looking forward to the next 9 episodes and if they are owt like last nights won't be disapointed as some of the camera work was wonderful
Best wishes,

He's a smashing chap isn't he. He certainly loves animals and his pet deer obviously loves him! It's good to see that Exmoor deers and badgers aren't as unpopular as we are sometimes led to believe. I shall be watching again next week.

I heard about this just after it had ended!
Sounds good, will be sure to watch it next week.

I enjoyed his programme far more than last weeks A.W..Itwas far less contrived and realistic and I look forward to seeing much more of him.
That's my boy. maurice.

I missed last week's but saw this week's. He seems quite a character, and I enjoyed the simplistic manner. Obviously it is far more personal than AW was, and although the misty weather didn't help tremendously for clarity of focus, his enthusiasm and personality won me over.

btw..I think it's an in-grown toe nail...eeerugh

Although I've seen enough of rutting dear for now (especially after AW) I did enjoy last night's programme. When Johnny was describing the pigs demise it took me back to my childhood. We kept a few pigs and one unfortunate porker was usually killed before Christmas. I always made myself scarce until the deed was done then hung around watching my grandad and the local pig killer doing the butchery and, like Johnny, I was given the bladder to blow up (ugh!) . Sounds gruesome but all part of country life in those days - and I'm not that ancient!
