Bad points - the presenters, though this is probably partly the fault of the production team.  I wish they would just comment/inform and not think that they need to entertain us with their personalities.  David Attenborough they are not.  Altogether too much about how clever/interesting they and the technical crew are.  And the way that they try to build tension by trailing what is coming later on is irritating.  More action, less talking about it please.  And more live action.  Too much stuff that has been filmed at different times and cut into the programme.  It is supposed to be Springwatch.As someone has already said, this is probably aimed at getting more people interested in nature.  Not a bad thing, but a bit dumb for those already interested.Pat</blockquote>
