Can someone please explian to me how these two presenters can hunt, shoot and fish without any apparent permission from the landowners. I shoot each season on organised days and rough shoot for pigeons and rabbits on farmland but only after getting a permit by providing photographs, copy of my shotgun licence and proof of where I live. Also why most of the things they have caught already dead when they film them supposedly killing them - ie the eels and the rabbits? I've never seen eels and rabbits look so limp and resigned to die as those shown recently. I was looking forward to this series but the way it's presented worries me. Will viewers who aren't aware think they can just wander onto farmland and into woods and start hunting as and when they please? I think the producers should take the responsibility to explain that it does not work like this. And stop patronising us by faking the 'kill'.
I also wasn't sure of the value of this programme. They couple were watchable enough but they were trying to prove that you could live off the land. I'd hate to think of people trying to despatch an animal who have no real idea of how to do so. Country people who are used to living this way can do so with respect to the animal concerned, and with humanity.
And why did they put so much effort into doing food swaps with local shop owners, when there was no storyline to explain it?
