ITV is the home of talent shows, endless repeats and utter dross - the new Dramas mentioned were unwatchable - Whitechapel was also in dubious taste - one of the "writers" was quoted as saying how exciting it was to be be able to stand on "the exact spot" were the ripper killed one of his victims - or to put it another way, butchered a human being - very thrilling !
ReplyDeleteHarry Hill is funny - but one show out of how many ?
...and what about the 'New, Hard-hitting, Adult, post watershed' The Bill?
ReplyDeleteShould be shown in Film School... a great example of how 'really bad' TV can become when budgets are cut and changes to a successful format are made... on a whim
