I watch very little TV since most of it is garbage. |

For me they ought to make all the people redundant who are responsible for those awful reality & so called tallent shows, and soaps for that matter, utter tosh the lot of it. We got rid of Sky a couple of years ago because it was costing a fortune and there was not much worth watching, we now have Freesat using our old Sky dish, there's still not much on but at least the box was just a one off payment. |

Peter Bazalgette is a descendant of Joseph Bazalgette, the man who devised the London sewer system circa 1870. Stephen Fry noted the irony in the fact that Bazalgette's ancestor devised a perfect system for extracting s*** from the population, whilst his descendant is doing his best to pump it back into our homes. |

Nobodt springs readily to mind as making anything worth watching these days.....David Attenborough excluded..... Have to say Edward I do like Stephen Fry's analogy.....pretty much spot on I think
