A lot of people were a bit worried when Bill Oddie announced he was leaving Springwatch. Chris Packham, formerly of The Really Wild Show, came to fill the beard shaped void and, for most people, he’s doing a rather splendid job indeed. You see, Springwatch has always had a good sense of humour and a penchant for the ridiculous. So when everyone rumbled that Packham had been sneaking song titles from The Smiths into his script, the show – justly – got loads of publicity. He’s brought more rock ‘n’ roll that mere Smiths songs, sporting t-shirt that display his love for Jesus and Mary Chain, and a rather sweet ‘Rockaway Beach’ tee, which is a track by The Ramones about a sewage pipe. Anyway, if you’d like to see a compilation of all of Packham’s Smiths references, click over. It is fun… and that’s what TV is supposed to be about.
