Pronounced chuff. We have choughs here but they're a different bird.

It's true no-one laughed at the end but it looked like a gag ending to me, and to True-Love. There was a "hot potato" juggle bit with the bag of explosives. The routine looked like a comic turn.

Before this the bird-observer man was shown as a bit of a fool as were the other bird-watchers. There was no attempt to raise awareness of the plight of the choughs -- they were just used to further the story-line. I could let all that pass. That is all beside the point.

I still think the end is an example of gratuitous violence. And I still think it was meant to be funny.

Anyone else actually see the episode?
Cheers, Joy
