Default Strictlied out!

I find that I am spending more and more time on the PC as "She" watches all the "Strictly" progs! All the screaming and shouting is getting on my piggin' nerves. I used to enjoy doing the odd waltz or struggle around doing a quickstep but analyzing it and all the rest of the "over the top" stuff is making me feel ill!


Give me an engine to look at and listen to any day.


There are several people on there that I could happily slap. Gerra proppa job!


Where's me spanners?

Never watched it, along with 99% of the other dross on the TV these days, so called 'Celebrities' Half of them need to do a few years of shift work and see what the real world is like.

And... What's all this 'Influencer' rubbish all about!?!

As the BBC has already spent the money on sets, setup etc., they will flog the horse to death because it makes economic sense! Have you noticed how they will film some sports events "live" and all day. They only have to pay the presenters and not those taking part. I've voted with my feet! Oh No! I mentioned "voting"! Which leads me onto ...................

Yep, don't watch much TV these days, prefer the radio or you tube! At least I get to say what I watch.

My missus has been watching “Resurrection” on Netflix for the last three weeks.

It’s all with sub titles, has 5 seasons with each season around 100 episodes
She’s at episode 85 season 4

It can be addictive as I’ve watched a few episodes myself.

I agree with all that has been said.
The TV media tribe dream up stuff for their own entertainment,..
Holiday adventure trips, et al. Also Retired types coming back to top up their pensions. Simon Cowell building his empire while we are supposed to be mesmerised.
Celeb this, Celeb that.
They are the only ones benefiting, certainly not good to watch most of the time.
Rant over.
Kev.

I've always said to the missus that when a Simon Cowell programme is on , there should be a rotating counter in the top corner showing how much he is earning !

It perhaps reveals the opinion the BBC may have of it customers? Give them anything they wont be able to see its just rubbish Chris.S
