They never had a decent one in the first place.

The BBC have trumped them twice with The Murder Game and Spy Game which were both amazingly intelligent uses of the 'reality tv' format.

I only watch sitcoms, The Simpsons, the news and any decent looking documentaries.

Nothing beats a good CD, good company or a good film

Fair enough, each to his own as they say

Television is really heading down a steep decline and has been for the last few years.

Top quality television soon became the reality tv tosh that the Yanks so kindly doted upon us.

Cast your minds back a year (perhaps two - I forget) and you may well remember a programme called Survivor. Survivor has an excellent little programme that was composed of challenges and an interesting location

Perfect for the Brits first foray into reality tv. Freeze it, hang it up, there you go - perfect. But wait, that was a nice little earner wasn't it ? What if we didn't have to stop it ? Yeah, let's run it 24-7 and show every aspect of their lives ! *Hi-fives all round*

And so Big Brother was born, then came Hells Kitchen, I'm A Celebrity, Love Island ...

Programmes about things like airlines and hotels have been around for years, but they're are not 'reality tv' as it has become nowadays

*Shudders*

Ok Coin. I don't see what your problem is. Do you not like the idea of chavs ripping each other to shreds and taking off tops trying to get famous?

I've found some good tv but most of it's off the beaten track and I pass up half of it to play with friends on Live.
