Summer Officially Over as First Goth of Winter Spotted

California is hard on Goths, and never harder than during this drought, but like salmon, I hope they return to their native streams for their birthright rituals.

The BBC has announced Chris Packham as presenter of Gothwatch, an up-close nightly series watching goths as they emerge blinking from their slumber and head out hunting for cider and black.

“It was a wonderful experience presenting Gothwatch last year,” he told us.

“One newly fledged goth wanted to go out because it was raining and blowing, but she couldn’t go out as her roots were showing. Our viewers loved watching the dilemma.”
