Well looking through the news this morning, noticed that Mick Aston is leaving TT because they are bringing in younger presenters. Actually I like Alex Langland, he was in the Victorian Farm reconstruction series. Anyway Mick Aston is angry about it as you can see.....
That's a real shame as I liked Mick. I don't like making comparisons, especially about an unrelated programme, but in my other life I train and work sheepdogs and One Man & His Dog was the Time Team equivelent. Both were/are hugely popular but once the original presenters of OM&HS left the scene it was never the same again with 'celebrities' who knew sod all about dogs or the countryside fronting it until recently when Matt Baker took the helm. At least he farms and has run in a trial or two so knows a bit. Mick will be missed and I hope they all have a change of heart. "The time had come to leave. I never made any money out of it, but a lot of my soul went into it. I feel really, really angry about it.”
