I know the sound gets a bit choppy and is probably too quiet, and the cuts aren't pristine but it was the quickest, least stressy way of ripping. Enjoy!
Much respect to Mr. Packham!
Hearing him saying "Oscillate wildly" was so surreal. Incredible bunch of clips.
Sheila Take A Bow was incredible.
the audacity
I consider myself an observant bloke, a MASSIVE Smiths fan and a fairly keen audience member of the BBC's natural history programmes, but THIS had somehow eluded me...this spot Sir. Then again, is it really so strange...?
Why on earth did three people not like this - it's pure joy!
Can you believe on the BBC noticeboard they complained about his accent? Last night I dweamt someone loved me! Keep it up, Chris.
Thanks for putting all these legendary clips together! Must have taken ages :-)
I liked these but had no idea they were song titles, I just thought he had a poetic way with words! :) I always smiled when he said something unusual/funny.
Fantastic, I love Springwatch and The Smiths so for me it was a treat.
Shamelessly brilliant!
All these Smiths references _AND_ a Jesus and Mary Chain shirt!
Brilliant - thanks so much for posting.
"Frankly Mister Shankly" got me suspicious, but "Vicar In A Tutu" made me shout "He's doing Smiths titles!" at the screen!
Easily the best Springwatch series, Chris has been a delight - when will we get Summerwatch and Winterwatch?
I'm going to have to try this at work...
Very clever. I could listen to Chris Packham talk all day. His language is so poetic.
Apparently he's doing Manic Street Preachers this series. This needs to be tracked.
Yeah, that was a BRILLIANT response. :D
Love his smug self-delight while he says "What's next?" after he pulls off You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby.
Probably the greatest montage ever.
Great stuff from the Packmeister.
SW has brought back all sorts of really wild show nostalgia from my childhood this year.
It's a show about cute animals, it's not News Night. these gags are prefectly fine.
splendid
Thank you for this. The Gladioli were a nice touch.
absolutely brilliant!!
most impressive song title....headmaster ritual.....
Absolutely brilliant! Very cleverly done Chris.
i already liked mr packham a lot... love him even more now!
I think this is absolutly brilliant, it brings back a sence of humour which i think springwatch should have, its a friendly show and chris hasd just personalised it that little bit more ;)
what a dude!!
Top chap
Anyone done this with The Cure tracks?
this clip alone he made three references
so self indulgent
he's stopped it for autumnwatch thank god so he was obviously told to save it for his geek smiths blog
Haha. This is brilliant.
Excellent. When you know the titles it is really funny especially "William it was really not
"theyll get ont he outside here. they'll oscillate wildly"
this was soo funny
best.thing.ever
I write film reviews for a local website and I have to put in some kind of quirky sub-title with each film, so I try as often as I can to just put in a Smiths/Morrissey song title
Holy crap he looks good for his age, I had assumed he was much younger than 49!
How long will it be before the show's producers latch on to what Chris has been doing, eventually getting into a panic before telling him:
"That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore"
At which point Chris would ask them if they wanted him to stop at this very moment - once they've replied, Chris could then go to conclude:
"How Soon Is Now?"
chris packham = legend
@braitnicho This video's on my old account, so if anyone's responsibility it's mine. I'm too busy to watch the show, though, so hopefully someone can chronicle which quotation is in which bit of which episode before they slide off iPlayer.
Love your work Chris....(:
Amazing !!!! Well done Chris :-)
My favourite was the William, it was really nothing reference. Springwatch is great when it's on but i know it's over.
His challenge for the next series is to mention 'Meat is Murder'.
What a lad!!
He was a hottie years ago, he's still a hottie now - Chris P - we salute you. Viva Moz xx
I can't say that the Smiths references mean anything to me but that aside Chris is a fantastic presenter and he doesn't deserve the criticism he receives.
I like to think that this was just an accident and je didn't even realize he was doing it
Hahahhaha, LOVE IT!!! Chris P, what a legend. Like the other commenter said, yes, The Really Wild Show - all comes flooding back. But whatever happened to the Nutkins bloke (who wasn't actually a squirrel, despite the name). I've seen lots of people shoe-horning in Smiths quotes into any discourse they can find, but CP's effort here is surely deserving of a medal. Although he may have to stretch out and wait. *groan*
I've got that PUNK t-shirt he's wearing! It says 'Because there is no fourth chord' underneath.
Chris, if you read these, please do Sisters of Mercy songs next.
I just wish there was a few more seconds on the end of each clip as I was enjoying Kate Humble trying not to corpse. She knew what he was doing.
@shaftsbury94 ...and Underdogs! I'm watching some episodes myself and chronicling it lately. I should be able to start putting them into a video.
I love that sort of nonsense. Fab.
@ursulamutant I'll try (I made this video; that is my old account).
I'm quite busy in the near future, though, so can't promise.
Anyone done this with The Cure tracks he did in the next series?
Autismically beautiful ❤️
You could see him gearing up fo the sheila, take a bow one- kinda obvious LOL.
Pretty cool though.
look at them bluejays there as they reel around the fountain
@shaftsbury94 Thanks! Do you happen to have taken note of his references so far? I intend to make the video but would need help.
Haha brilliant!!
tonight he mentioned new art riot and life becomeing a landslide by MSP.
That is so odd and random :D Although quite awesome. He should use more of the lyrics instead of the titles only, though.
Packham would probably demand a scientific explanation for the presenters' chemistry but Humble sensibly concludes it is because all 3 are proper friends. Both Packham and Hughes-Games are coming to her husband's 50th birthday party in a few weeks. "We are genuinely mates. We hang out, we talk, we send each other rude texts," she says. "When the programme is very spontaneous it helps when you know what sparks each other off. It's not to say we don't disagree or argue but that's what mates do."
@pawnsacrifice1 she must do though, cause she replied with Girlfriend in a Coma ! haha!
that's great :)
what a ledge
I know its not strictly smiths but if he had come back with 'you're the one for me fatty' at the end i would have died.
haha i remember that what a god.
Haha 1:52, this is pretty funny
It's what I have observed, I have also read comments by other people that said the same about Martin and Chris. If they are 'friends', then I would hate to see Chris look at someone he loathed!
@BTOPENWORLD Well, what difference does it make?
Hahaha
Chris is the man.
jajajaj ojala conociera ha alguien así 💓💓💓
Hah, thanks for posting
This year's Smiths is David Bowie.... unlike Kate Humble, I haven't noticed Michaela Strachan joining in.
And didn't he present her with some gladioli shortly after the last one?
@rebecca3884 Well, surely that's one of the easier ones...
haha no way! they can't all be Smiths quotes can they? Did Mozza really sing about green finches? fair fucks to him if he did ;)
That's from an interview with all 3 presenters in The Guardian. Available on their web site at: /tv-and-radio/2011/may/17/springwatch-presenters-send-rude-texts.
Try to stick with facts next time, instead of gossiping about poorly-informed rumours.
Stop me if you think you've heard this one before but lets not panic here, so what difference does it make if he's infliltrating song titles? It's just something you'll have to accept yourself.
People are having a go but If this charming man, this handsome devil wants to do this then, well I wonder if theres really a problem. but what do I know, people are saying he should stop now, but how soon is now? i think he should keep going until this joke isn't funny anymore!
I don't think The Jesus and Mary Chain shirt helped either. He could have been near a bee's nest and qouted "Just like honey".
An Iidie kid at heart.
Was anyone hedging their bets when he kicked off last Autumn's series under an umbrella with " Happy when it Rains"? I was preparing myself for a slew of Garbage (the band's) songs rather than JMC.
it helps if you know something about the bands otherewise yer knackered.
hahaha brilliant. what's his deal?
@colintron yep he has done Kevin Carter, and If you tolerate this then you children will be next I don't hink he has said design for life .. yet
Lol, it's actually funny xD
Im so confused lol im in the u.s, is he just a big smiths fan? And what is the show lol?
I certainly hope you are. And people call Moz miserable
I love the Smiths, and know every title reference here. But, yes, it's annoying and inappropriate. It makes you not pay attention to to the what is being said, just keep waiting for the next reference.
Although one or two would have been jolly.
That's brilliant :L
is he a smiths fanatic or is this just apart of the show sceme
chris i thought was alright being that he likes animals etc but he seems to pick and choose which animals should live and ones he doesnt care about dieing and thats wrong in my book.
Some of this was horrifically cringeworthy, but it's funny all the same. Nice work!
hahah what the hell
what the fuck
Kate Humble just doesn't get it
That will be why him and Martin hang out together even when they are not filming. Stop making stuff up.
And one watch of the clip above shows you're way off the mark about him being miserable.
Honestly, some people...
I didnt say it infuriated me I just found it silly and inappropriate and dull - its not a music show
I notice for Autumnwatch they have made him stop doing it
hopefully next years presenter will remember that people have tuned in to watch a nature show not Top of The Pops
Basically these programs are informative but deadly boring to do. How interested can you be in two birds in a nest so his mind is obviously more focused on the Smiths.
maybe like me Moz just has a much more sophistocated sense of humour
I can laugh about it now but at the time it was terrible
