In this age of terrible “reality” programming, this week sees the return of a wonderful reality show. As ever, this series sees the housemates couped up inside their newly designed structures. But you never know exactly what’s going to happen next, and there’s minimal interference.
Yes, Springwatch is back.
And in a completely genius idea, they’re doing live streaming every night for a couple of hours. So instead of watching a house full of half-wits talking such nonsense that producers have to mute the sound and replace it with random bird noises, you can actually watch proper birds (and badgers) themselves in their natural habitat.
None of these birds are trying to appear in Heat magazine.
This is real reality.
