Been indulging myself watching a very good Hungarian TV channel (yes, a whole Channel, not just the odd programme here and there) called Hunting and Fishing.
Not into the shooting Bambi half of the output but the fishing stuff is amazing. Not just enormous carp - though enormous carp there are a'plenty - but also straightforward float and feeder fishing for stuff we'd recognise as decent roach,perch, silver fish and other stuff I couldn't identify. Great except....
Which brings me to the point of this post and it's title.
Why the hell do all TV fishing programmes (with very few exceptions, Gone Fishing and that old beardie with the deerstalker hat, tache and pipe in plus fours) {Edit]Roger Hargreaves, that's it, couldn't immediately bring his name to mind - Alzheimers kicking in bad today[/Edit] (where was I ?)
....Oh yes, why do they all have such bloody awful music playing in the background ? Snare drums and a dribble of las vegas lounge music, or even on rare occasions (and God forbid another one soon) heavy rock metal guitars soloing away like madmen.
Really, does anyone who has the slightest interest in fishing want any of this sh1t background music playing on as if the action were all taking place in an Hotel lift ? Or at all ?
Why oh why oh why....
