Trackdaybob Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 The absolute insistence by the BBC to force some strictly pish into pretty much every programme they broadcast. The fact they broadcast it twice a weekend anyway. Doesn't seem to be enough. Then it's on Breakfast, Morning, The news, the fucking one show. Just fucking stop it. I say this every year, they clearly don't listen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several BBC programmes, Breakfast Time in particular, spend a lot of air time promoting upcoming BBC shows. Thinking about it, ITV are at least as bad with their continual pushing of I'm a Celebrity, X Factor, Dancing on Ice etc etc Edited November 5, 2020 by Northboy Additional comment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like a trailer for strictly is crowding out anything worthwhile. 5 minutes less for sportscunt to try waterrugby or some shite, or some hard hitting investigative reporting to reveal there's sugar in sweets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC have already lost the teenage audience so why bother show trailers before every 6 o'clock news? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff but the early 80s look like a completely different world in so many ways. We are all yuppies now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 If you removed all the bits of shows where they talk about other shows, BBC & ITV would be back to 12 hour days, a la pre-90s TV. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Can we have Sally James back on Tiswas?

Arch Stanton Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) I'm watching a past series of Taskmaster on All4 (Aisling Bea, Sally Phillips, Pish Kumar etc). It's 20 to 2 in the morning and they're putting FOUR MINUTE ADVERT BREAKS into the show.

Great tv show A new Danish cop series started last night on BBC 4, called DNA. DNA has been pretty good so far , if you can keep up with the three different languages be spoken episode length is jus about right I'd say with a double bill be shown each Sat night. It was probably the last place I'd have expected Charlotte Rampling to turn up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Switched the TV on this morning and Channel 4 was showing Professional Tig. Sounds like something Alan Partridge might have come up with but apparently it's a real thing in America. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a sport out of frisbee and they have huge stadia for rounders, so it shouldn't really be a surprise. It still kind of is though, who's paying them for that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
