One of the many pleasures of visiting our former North American colonies is watching the Outdoor Life 4x4 hunting & shooting channel or as Mrs FM & your humble correspondent refer to it, Killing Things TV. I can think of no better way of ameliorating the ravages of jet lag than by kicking back with a cold one & watching Bubba’s Gargantuan Catfish Special.

Like so much these days we lag a little behind the United States but now Blighty has its own Field Sports Channel. OK, so it might be a bit of a poor relation Monster Bucks Television but at least it’s a start & it is presented by that aaawwwwfully nice Charlie Jacoby
