Somebody had a whinge on a local forum that even if you had all subscription >channels and all of Freeview, there was basically crap on TV this Christmas.
The Kings Speech was not a patch on what his mother came up with each year
as well.
I cannot help wonder if the issue now is that the talent of people making
shows is spread so thin now over all these channels, that blockbuster stuff >is never made. Where are the household names nowadays with shows that were
genuinely funny? Have we all been overtaken by this not upsetting a
particular group of people brigade, that you can say nothing any more?
Also who is this new Dr Who, he sounds like somebody trying to put on a >pseudo black Estuawy accent like so many youngsters do. its not endearing,
and makes everyone sound the same and a trifle thick, which I'm sure they
are not.

I even heard a swear word in Star Trek Voyager over the weekend.
I remember somebody making a similar observation about television
itself when it re-started after the war.
I have seen a couple of stand up comics on TV lately, who are using
jokes that Morecambe and Wise and The Two Ronnies had nicked from
previous comics, with the addition of gratuitous F-words. The audience
only laughed when the comic swore.
No I know and she was quite witty ad spontaneous at times. I think she >enjoyed the job in the main, but I cannot help but wonder if Charles is tht >legendary fish on a bicycle. He should get a convenient ailment and defer to >his more sensible some, in my view. Also how can Camilla be called queen, >After all, Duke of Edinburgh was not King.
Not that it probably matters, but only met Charles twice and he was a
boring old far back then, ahem.
So I did not watch Dr Who other than the trails which put me completely
off, is he of mixed race or what?

I know the reboot series (which I haven't seen) has some F-words
inserted for no very good reason, which caused some conversation amongst
the fanbase.
The other one replied, Is it, I'll get mine out then.
So rare, I'd never heard of it. After the Samsung voice guide has had a go
at pronouncing many shows you would be scratching your head for ages. Brian
I have never watched one at all. Brian

It has extra interest because I have visited Ardverikie House and Cille Choirill (which they used several times). Never saw them filming but
often saw the "MOTG" signs.
I've seen Ardverkie across Laggan, but not ventured across the loch. I note Cille Choirill is in Roy Bridge (down the road), but I don't recall a
church is any episode that I watched
BBC is complete crap now they are not getting their huge bonuses. Attenborough just about keeps it afloat. John Birt milked it, there must
be so many more.

What huge bonuses?
Can you give details if you access to people's salaries?
While not necessarily agreeing with Sid (I'm not sure what point he's
making above), ISTR the BBC deciding to make public the details of all salaries above some threshold (100k was it?), some while ago; I think
they're published in some BBC report, but I presume that means the media republish them so they're effectively public domain.
