Is this dislike because the Daily Express reported that Countryfile was in meltdown due to a spat between Craven and Baker? It was in the script, there was no spat!
For those of you with greater resolve than I, who haven't been tempted by the click bait, there was a feature set in a pub called the 'Craven Arms', and John said he had always wanted to say "get out of my pub". As John was behind the bar, and Matt was the 'customer ' this was interpreted by some hack at the Express as tantamount to the end of the world.
1) Very occasionally saw John Craven in the bar at BBC Pebble Mill (a friend of mine worked on Countryfile), he was perfectly charming.
2) The iPhone ad is a Maya Angelou poem which I love.
3) I'll get me coat...

Yes. As a poem it is nice. As a commercial for a brand like apple it's sh*te, made worse by having someone really very annoying doing the VO.

It sounds like the Angelou herself or someone who is certainly trying to sound like her. As for using it on an iPhone ad, yeah that's....nonsense.

It is Maya Angelou.
Maybe this thread should be renamed "anything but la Vuelta"?
I have no idea what iPhone add you are talking about but am disappointed that Maya Angelou gave permission for her poem to be used for such commercial purposes. I always thought she was sort of against that kind of thing.

She's also sort of dead, isn't she? So presumably will be whoever owns copyright to the sound recording who is the devil.

My knee hurts a bit this morning, nice bit of sun though.
I wonder where the surname Craven comes from?
How can space go on forever, there must be a point where it stops? I don't believe in all that doughnut rubbish. I like doughnuts though, but not custard ones.
If the Americans landed on the moon, where is the moon buggy? I can't believe they bought it back!?
I find John Cravens voice a bit annoying, not that he can help it.
I wonder if a bike can be peddled on the moon?
If I was a bird why fly to Rhyl? why not fly somewhere really nice like St Ives and live.

I wonder if a bike can be peddled on the moon? Yes, but I think you would struggle to find a buyer.

Well yes. Still sad though.

Why are we discussing John Craven?
I think he grew a beard and changed his name to Dan.
For those of you with greater resolve than I, who haven't been tempted by the click bait, there was a feature set in a pub called the 'Craven Arms', and John said he had always wanted to say "get out of my pub". As John was behind the bar, and Matt was the 'customer ' this was interpreted by some hack at the Express as tantamount to the end of the world.
Cfy.
Couldn't agree with you more if it came with a chocolate eclair attached.

Few one less thing to worry about.
But his voice isn't in the same league for annoyance as Matt Baker (not that he can help it either) and don't get me started on Helen Skelton's voice.

I'm sure JC's voice has become more toothy in the past few years, as if his dentures are too big for his mouth.
