Proceed with caution. A program fronted by Clarissa Dixon-Wright (a known 
pro-hunting ceelbrity) where she follows a fox-hunt generated a number of 
complaints by people who claimed to have just seen the start of program and 
were disgusted by its promotion of hunting. There was one tiny problem: the 
channel's schedule was running late and so they couldn't have "just seen" 
the progras it hadn't yet started!
