Apparently, viewers of the popular BBC programme Countryfile have demanded that a trigger warning should have been shown during an article on the Aberdeen Angus breed of cows during which a pair of bull’s testicles were shown and the merits of their substantial size was discussed.
I have to say I hardly ever watch Countryfile, but by a bizarre coincidence I happened to be watching the item about Aberdeen Angus as I was waiting to view another programme, however I have no recollection of being particularly shocked by the experience, so I was either not paying attention or the sight of a pair of bull’s testicles in an article about bulls may have seemed wholly appropriate and nothing to get into a lather about.
One has to assume that most viewers of Countryfile will have the intelligence to work out from the title of the programme that it will contain matters pertaining to the countryside, farming for example. Now, this I think is where the problem may have occurred as I believe there are considerable numbers of the younger generation who have eaten meat and indeed seen it in the supermarket but have no idea where it comes from.
What I found more shocking and something which, no doubt would leave some demanding a trigger warning, was the rather sad statistic concerning door mice who hibernate for the winter and should the weather become too warm too early, these tiny creatures wake up and every time they wake they deplete themselves of their fat store leading to the death of some 40 to 70% of the poor little things.
The countryside and nature can be a very cruel place at times, so I suggest should you be of a more delicate disposition perhaps it might be wise to avoid watching the BBC’s Countryfile programme.
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
The Diary of a Country Bumpkin 
I regret that I have no option but to warn you I am about to write an obscenity. BOLLOCKS!
That pretty much sums it up.
