There are a lot of talented and gifted people out there whose lives are blighted by depression. I, personally, preferred Springwatch and such without his voice. It became annoying after a while but, then, so many presenters these days almosy 'over present'.

I feel sorry for anyone with depression. Would not wish it on my worse enemy. That said it can also be quite cathartic on accasions. I learned a great deal about so many things because of depression.

However, this does not mean I have to like everyone with depression! I am sure he always meant well but he always seemed to be babbling and interrupting his fellow presenters. I could be being unfair as I stopped watching it for some time because of him. Maybe I just got the wrong picture.

The yardstick I suppose we all use for natural history presentation is David Attenborough. Some people say his voice annoyed them and yet I find it relaxing and quite pleasing. It all goes to show, once again, just how much important it is we do not all like the same things and that there is a diverse enough world for us all to be able to find something in it that pleases.
