I'm on a rant about the state of British TV.

What the hell is going on with late night ITV, showing chav phone in mint gambling bollocks hosted by complete wankers and the occasional good loooking chavette.

Now for those of us with freeview we have had channel 35 switch from Men and Motors to more bloody "ITV Play" = total bollocks Mint all the time.

What bright spark decided to swap Jo Guest, The Sweeney and Minder for that bollocks I don't know.

And don't get me started on day time TV, oh no! I'm taking a few weeks holiday at home and what utter bollocks is on TV during the day with just the occasional good show (like Working Lunch featuring posh totty MILF Gillian Lacey-Solymar).

Lets compare GOOD with BAD

I recall a Springsteen classic from many years ago where Bruce laments after getting cable TV. 57 Channels and nothing on!

Also remember an interview with an American professor on South Bank Show. He said Brit TV would go the same way as America, more channels, same funding, less quality. He remarked Benny Hill would be looked on as High Brow............

The amount of fresh, inventive, and most importantly entertaining stuff is negligible amongst hour on hour of brainrot. Where are the 21 century versions of class shows like Cracker, Brideshead etc.....?

Alternatively Jo Guest naked is good enough for me!!

Be fair. This is the BBC. Many of them probably had to endure public school before this privilege.

"The weather - sponsored by Powergen"
"Coronation Street - sponsored by Cadbury's"
