From badger watching last night on Springwatch, to Badgerbaiting tonight.
Ruth Badger, the real winner of the Apprentice - perhaps not being picked as the winner of the last series is the best thing which ever happened to her - is an absolute star in the current series on Sky One.
The premise of the programme will seem vaguely familiar to various offerings the BBC and Channel 4 have put together in the past.
Ruth has assumed the job of troubleshooter and gets sent into all manner of firms to find out what is wrong.
Fortunatley, to make this hour of telly watchable, the answer is normally this: Lots.
In a recent episode, she went to a caravan firm in Norfolk (my experience of Norfolk would suggest they should be on to a goldmine there) to find out why things were a bit downbeat.
Instead of 60 caravans a month, the sales team shifts 12. One's cocky, one's bored and the other reminded my of one of the Muppets.
But she turned it around - and one thing is for sure, the Badger doesn't give anyone an easy ride.
Tonight, Ruth she visits an estate agent threatened by closure in south London and attempts to improve the attitudes of its all-female workforce. Expecte fireworks. Bloody good telly from Sky One.
