Springwatch kicked out by Euro 2008 match

The BBC should brace itself for complaints from nature fans. The Beeb is only planning to move an episode of Springwatch because of the football. Will they never learn, after the recent outcry from Apprentice fans about moving this week's episode for a poxy England football friendly? Bill Oddie, Kate Humble and their feathered and furry friends are due to be squeezed out of their regular 8pm BBC2 slot on Wednesday June 11 by a Euro 2008 match. The BBC is in a tight spot as it has no space over on BBC1 due to the final of The Apprentice. The plan at the moment is for Springwatch to air at 6.30pm on BBC2 instead. Too early for Monkey though, who will still be tapping away in the office. Bird watchers will still be able to see some kind of bird though. The match taking Springwatch's place is Switzerland v Turkey.
