‘They car-bombed my house – there’s not much more they can do’: the astonishing podcast taking on illegal bloodsports
By Daniel Dylan Wray

After 20 mutilated animal corpses were left outside a rural primary school, the creators of award-winning podcast Buried began investigating – with a little help from Chris Packham. It plunged them into organised crime, the dark web and Line of Duty-esque rumours of police corruption

@ORIOliver
I've just watched the first two episodes, which were excellent. As you'd expect from Packham, it's both serious and entertaining without being pretentious.

Each episode is self-contained, tracing the development of one modern species from the earliest single-celled organisms, but cleverly it tells the story differently in each episode, avoiding repetition.

Some of script is corny and full of clichés but that just adds to the quirky charm.

I think perhaps we'd better all watch 'Evolution' on the BBC ... It sounds as if it will cheer us all up ... Hooray for Chris Packham ...

@pvonhellermannn I have stuck up for Blair for years, against what I regarded as facile arguments, deliberate misrepresentations, and hyperbolic exaggeration of his mistakes. But he's lost me now, and I'm resolved to fight against his corrupt influence. I hope he loses sleep over this change of heart.

@Sustainable2050 It is a big worry. Only thing to do is to keep reminding people of what's happening, as you do so well. And to support green causes, rewild our gardens, chase the politicians. The message is getting through, keep going!

@manchestereveningnews.co.uk @europesays today's BBC weather warning about Storm Bram ended with a cheery "at least it's mild!" Do they not know that the mild weather is part of the same climate crisis that's causing the storms? The met office must know this mild weather is not a benign bit of good luck. And should make sure we know it too. These storms cause chaos ... mild weather is not good, BBC!

I sometimes despair about over use of plastic, am fanatical about recycling, and shop in as plastic free a way as possible. This article reminds me to keep pestering the politicians and manufacturers. Sainsburys beware, another email is coming your way ...

Good clear approach by Starmer. I'll keep banging on at Labour to focus more on climate, and listen more to Milliband, but I'm still on his team!

@afewbugs @urlyman The BBC occasionally covers these issues quite well, on consumer and science and even political programmes. But definitely not enough. They've forgotten we're in a crisis. We're the blooming frogs not realising that the nice tepid water will soon boil. We absolutely must keep pushing them to do more. And to give Packham a sainthood while they're about it.
