Dont get me wrong – I love Television. I think its the cultural epicenter of our age. Basically free, democratic, in short enough slots to keep everybody focused, but set up in a way to keep people wanting – no in fact – needing more. Perhaps I’m a bit of a television snob – there is so much dross on TV at the moment. Its as if the more mediocre the idea the better the chance of it receiving air time. This is highlighted by no less a set of programmes which include Young Fishmonger of the Year, Young Mechanic of the Year and Young Butcher of the Year.
The production values are a joke, and the personalities basically invisible. George Lamb is pretty pathetic and is as limp as the fish being filleted. All in all, get this shite of my beautiful tv screen.
