Natural wastage

Past performance is no protection from the compete and compare mantra at the modern BBC. And so, production of Countryfile is going out to tender.

From an initial half-hour show on Sunday mornings in 1988, it has developed and grown into a monster in the Sunday night schedules, with a spin-off magazine, calendar, awards, and sister shows. It's hard to believe something of value won't be lost to the BBC if it goes to an indie.
