If this were 1973 and you only had three channels to pick from, fair enough, but come on, you don't have to look very far these days for alternative viewing choices, even on bog standard Freeview there's about a hundred channels. And if there's absolutely nothing on at all that tickles your fancy, follow the advice of a classic 70s kids TV show: 'Why Don't You' (just switch of your television set and go do something less boring instead). Or put the radio on... Have you ever met a rugby league fan before? A persistent and hardy few will even watch rugby union games just so they can feel even more unhappy than they were before.

Clogiron Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I don't watch much TV apart from Motorcycle racing and RL plus the BBC news but from past experience I can absolutely guarantee that any programme with 'Celebrity' in the title will be absolute s***e, and now the BBC'S trailers are longer than the adverts on ITV I see all-sorts of drivel being pushed, probably explains why we are in the state we are at present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Just looked this show up. Here's the blurb from UKTV - My Famous Babysitter is the latest from UKTV bringing celebrity star names to 2019, like Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, Emma Willis: Delivering Babies, Ski A&E and Inside The Operating Theatre. Dr Christian Will See You Now, John Bishop: In Conversation With..., The Davina Hour, and Inside the Ambulance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gets me with that is I can’t stop thinking about the fact they used to use Parky then they cut costs and just name checked him. As in the start of the conversation one of them said like the ads with Parky in. Then he must’ve got that taken out as they now use the same advert with the reference to him removed.

Trevorkfevfan Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Going to second my own nomination purely out of frustration! That tw*t Matt Alldull(bright)! Endured an episode of Watchdog last week and the lack of any meaningful consequence to the swindlers really irritates and makes you question the whole point of the program and his likely fat salary!

ckn Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Julia Hartley-Brewer. Vile harridan should should be banned from TV. Any BBC producer who suggests bringing her into shows like Question Time should be forced to watch her lifetime of utterings on repeat for a year.
