Packham, take a bow

Springwatch presenter Chris Packham, who you may or may not know has been slipping Smiths song titles into the BBC2 programme at every opportunity, appears to have upped his game. Previously shoehorning in just one song a show, last night he managed four - Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want, Cemetery Gates, I Know It's Over and Sheila, Take A Bow. If he carries on like this then in tonight's final episode of the current series, viewers should listen out for when Packham says something that isn't a Smiths song.

Monkey update: It seems Chris Packham was even more prolific than we thought last night – apart from those listed above he shoehorned in Nowhere Fast and Well I Wonder. Twitter-style hat-tip to @timdifford and @mahkusjaybee.
