Louise “Please keep Autumn Watch It's good for all tbe family Connecting to nature helps us connect more deeply to ourselves and opens up the possibility of connecting to others. Invaluable support to mental health and wellbeing for all ages.”

Susan “Keep Autumn Watch, one of the very few progs that make it worth having a licence Axe. Some of the garbage which pretty much fills the schedules. PLEASE”

Irene “Please do not cancel Autumnwatch, it is not only one of the best programmes on the BBC, but is that rare thing, a programme for all ages. What else can multi-generational families all sit down together and enjoy. It gives so many ideas for things to do together and get out into the outdoors wherever you live. It is informative and made but so many dedicated and inspiring people. The "Watches" are easily the best programmes on the BBC. Please think again and save money on something less educational and inspirational. It's a long time since I have heard of such an unjustifiable decision. In these terrifying days of threats to our wellbeing both physical and mental, programmes like this can give a little belief that there is something that we as individuals can do to help redress the mess that man has made in this world. The way they energise young people to get involved in nature should show us the way forward. I whole heartedly despair if this is how the BBC thinks to respond to the growing awareness and interest that these programmes have generated. Please, please think again.”

Catherine “Please don't axe Autumn Watch”

Bruce “Please don't cancel this wonderful program”.

James “I love watching Winter watch, Spring Watch and Autumn watch. Maybe the BBC should stop paying out massive amounts of cash to people's crazy wages? Do not cancel this brilliant nature series.”

Mike “BBC this is crazy why autumn watch is a fantastic show it's education at its best it shows what we have around us what we take for granted we have some of the most amazing and beautiful wild life in UK so please don't do this please don't”
