I have always wonder what drives those sad people who call up annd complain about adverts, or sex on TV, but i fear it is not long before i join the ranks of the complainers.
I am now in a particularly bad mood with the BBC and if I wasn't so lazy i would actually report them to the TV watchdog over crappy scheduling. I appreciate there is a war on and a golf championship which has incurred a lot of torrential rain.
As if cancelling Neighbours twice this week, in favour of showing us a tank in a road doing nothing, or the same loop of footage we saw of George Bush the night before wasn't bad enough. They have now really taken the pisss. Now i am a keen golfer and enjoy playing golf, and occasionally watching it in small doses, but however much i like it there is no blooddy excuse to cancel I love 1990 just to extend the highlights programme.
Tonights crap offerings on BBC 1 are:
Casualty
the murder game
Parkinson
Congo (movie)
What a thoroughly crap line up, why are we paying £112 to be offered such a pile of crap on a saturday evening. I love 1990 was the highlight of a poor schedule and they cancelled it. what a bunch of twunts. What a line up and those gimps cancel it.
I am also sick of moronic, insensitive and guileless news reporters asking particularly stupid questions, making points about the significance of things that clearly aren't significant, and generally prattling on about things which would have filled a half hour show but instead some how get stretched to 6 hours worth of reporting.
While i am ranting at the BBC i am also going to moan about how they are obsessed with liverpool. When it comes to football coverage they broadcast the most stupid games involving liverpool at the expense of ignoring other top teams competing in europe such as newcastle, chelsea and leads. Even though A) these teams may have a bigger match and B) ignoring the fact that liverpool are generally acknowledged to be the most boring team ever to have existed.
A) If they are going to charge us to watch TV then they can at least do it properly otherwise i'll have adverts please and not get charged and extortionate fee.
B) It would be nice if they didn't think our hobbies were watching paint dry and grass grow when it comes to sport
C) They acknoledge the fact that we don't want crappy Docu-gameshows and half hour long national lottery shows at the expense of actually entertaining programmes.
I feel a bit better now that i've got rid of a bit of aggression, but all i have to say is, "what a bunch of T*****s"

BBC2 is excellent, BBC1 is turning into ITV, ITV is crap, Channel 4 is variable. Channel 5 is still not worth mentioning, and Sky is about 90% repeats.
I must say I'm watching less TV recently.

Pish.. the BBC are brilliant. Compare them to ITV, Channel 4 and Sky and they're the clear winner.
"D**e" is banned? How am I supposed to mock the dutch?
She's called "Ima"
bloody GregDyke! Is he still in charge?
Heh his surname is banned he is that much of an obscenity. Wmust be a bit of a harsh surname for his daughter.

Hire a homeless guy to rob the director generals of the BBC
well i bet your one small little man......
Anyway i complained about missing neighbours, doesn't mean it reflects my choice of veiwing. I used neighbours as an example but for example i watched lucky Jim on Friday night and enjoyed, at least ITV has some stuff worth watching and doesn't try and charge us for it

How the **** can you claim the BBC has no taste in programming when you rant about missing NEIGHBOURS? You're just one small, angry boy who wasn't able to watch his favourite dross. If missing "I love 1990" is so important to you then by all means write a complaint, but don't expect the presenters of Watchdog to commit Harikari in disgust, will you?
And the day the BBC drops its license fees is the day my TV goes out the Window. Seriously.

No, it's so good that the BBC keep moving it around so that everyone has a chance to see it :P

Have to agree with you especially the bit about the ex lap dancer.
