I am grateful to all of you who have shared this petition and encouraged other Autumnwatch fans to sign it. Some still do not know it has been cancelled so please continue to be amazing and spread the word.
As news stories move on, the plight of Autumnwatch will move further from view and that is probably what some people would like. However, it has been heartwarming to see the passion with which you have supported this petition and I discussed just that with a journalist today.
The love we have for the Watches and the benefit we gain from the educational, family friendly viewing they provide should not be disregarded so lightly.
The campaign continues.
I'd like a conversation with the BBC.
I'd like to know why they can offer £100,000 as a reality show prize or £50,000 as a prize on a weekly quiz show but state that 8 hours of a groundbreaking live programme about our fragile British Wildlife is cut due to financial reasons.
What are the priorities of the BBC?
Who are they making programmes for if not the licence payers?
And if the licence payers want to keep Autumnwatch could they perhaps show one less football match?
