Cornwall with Simon Reeve (2020) User Reviews

Revealing the True Beauty and Pain in Our Flawed World

[gmcaltra · 10/10 · 2 January 2021]

Simon Reeve's special talent is to make the ordinary interesting. He's not interested in glamour. He doesn't stay in five star hotels. More often than not, he merges bleary eyes from a tent in the morning. He looks like the backpacker he probably once was. He is bloody good at his job, yet I wonder if the BBC would give someone like him a chance nowadays - white, male, middle class. So obsessed by celebrity have our broadcasters become, that these sort of shows would no doubt have to be fronted by Stacey Dooley or a Rapper anyone over the age of 18 no one has heard of. The BBC should remember that their job is about discovering and nurturing new talent like Simon Reeve, and I hope he continues to do what he does for many years to come.

I live in Cornwall, so I appreciate the camera's focus here. And as a representative of concerns for. A better natural environment and concerns about ecology and economy Simon echos my own heart.

I literally cry with happiness to see that beavers are being brought back, one at a time, with celebration from the community, into a stepped bare natural environment .. knowing it will revive the life forms that are indigenous to the lands and rivers and riverbanks. I cannot express my utter joy to see and hear of these new, better, old way, changes reviving life on our planet.

Or the spawning of lobsters .. so they do replenish the seas. I hope this is for conservation, rather than for economy, because as the butcher said, people need to eat less meat and pay a higher price for it!
