Jeremy wade

It was really the opposite, he fished in extreme places long before any t.v was in the offing, to the producers JW is a money spinning tool to enable them to get paid to make profitable t.v in exotic places.
I reckon his shows are o.k, they are on freeview so dont cost a bean to watch and my t.v has an off button which acts as a personal filter, i seldom angle these days and enjoy his shows,
He was also very good on the university challenge episodes he appeared in.

Maybe.
He is certainly a victim of his own success. There will always be a minority that criticise anyone that has made a career out of something they love doing.

There was an interview floating around a few years ago where he explained the frustration of his producers hamming up the programs with little regard for the actual fishing content. I think left his own devices a much better program would have resulted focussed purely on the fishing. Don’t think for a minute that Mr Wade had much control over the content. To him it was a tool to enable him to get paid to fish in such extreme places.

Exactly that mate.

Unfortunately some people think he produced the entire series.

Conversation was probably ok you do this and we will pay you this much and in return we will fly you around the world to catch some of the largest fish on the planet, and Jeremy probably took about 4 seconds to say "yes ok"

Like I said he has been fishing long before river monsters, catching big fish back in the 1970s with his own money, so to film any series and get paid for it must have been a win win in his book.

Haters gonna hate as they say i doubt he will be loosing any sleep over their opinions, he did it got paid got the tshirt, dude has a portfolio only dreams are made of, he completed the game, caught every species they put him onto run after run of massive specimens until they ran out of species to target, now the recent series like mighty rivers is mainly based around conservation and preserving species around the world and putting back, luckily I could see beyond the narrative parts of river monsters and I thought that was pretty obvious as to why that was done just as video on youtube have dramatic clickbait titles its the same principal, theres got to be something more than the fishing to draw the views thats how things work now, so I dont judge Jeremy for that or accepting the role, Im simply impressed by the fish he got to catch in the scenery he got to witness, luckily jelousy has never been something I suffer from, so that I take my hat off to the guy.

Everything he’s ever done is utter dross. The entire premise of a ‘river monster’ eating villagers, which invariably turns out to be a catfish, is fit for ceebeebies at best.
