    V you fibber, you should remember when it was 3 channels and kids tv was after school till the news. Nearly forgot the test card and well.

    This is true, but I hadn't seen US TV so couldn't make the comparison then. There was a 4th button on the telly but it was marked ITV2, and you had to get up to change channel of course.
    This was true for us pre Channel 4 too. We got another ITV channel signal which would mostly be the same as our region, but sometimes differed.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Simon Cowell should have been drowned at birth.
    TV would be a lot better without his influence.
    There should be a special Simon Cowell tax - 500% of his earnings, and 300% of the cost of all calls to vote on his dross.

    He lost a sing off against octopus. Who was Katherine Jenkins.

    I'm speechless. Not even Partridge would have pitched that. Telly is so cheap now.

    30 secs of trailer was enough to realise that The Masked Singer would be dog sh1t, and I've never watched it.

    I watch Strictly because Mrs Slog likes it. To be honest, I could just about put up with it if it wasn't for the emotional journeys and the bloody over-excited audience who feel they have to whoop and scream at everything.

    I caught a little bit of Sara Pascoe's program last night, about a minute. I think she was in Cuba, she was explaining to a Cuban resident that Eastenders was "the best program in the world" and so went very much down in my estimation.


    The older I get, the better I was.

    This is way past Partridge, into its own stratosphere of awesomeness.

    There's plenty of Partridge out there - The Real Full Monty On Ice, with Ashley Banjo and Coleen Nolan? I have not made that up.

    Just seen and ad for a new show on BBC one to find Britain's top dog groomer.

    To be fair that is a cancer awareness thing.

    Is the message that getting your tackle out while on ice skates is risky?

    Tell you what is truly, truly awful: The Real Housewives of Jersey.

    Frickin’ awful. It’s not even car crash tv funny, it’s painful. Utterly, utterly awful.

    The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

    Bring back 'Call My Bluff'.

    Imagine trying to pitch that to a TV company these days. "We're going to take obscure words from the Exford English Dictionary, have old white codgers, one with a stutter, come up with made-up definitions, and the others have to guess the right definitions. The presenter will have an epic comb-over."


    Televised version of Mornington Crescent, anyone?

    I'm filming paint drying in slowmo, any takers rather than watch current tv drivel. i can't get over some of the stuff on over the festive season again, stuff over 50yrs old. Although still better than some of the current drivel.

    I'm interested in this. Are you just planning a one off show, or a series, where maybe you can film multiple colours?

    Still the strangest thing on TV. Compelling (in small doses and with the finger on the fast forward button).

    A final this week between two of the nation's favourite female TV stars, both winners of the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical for west end performances (I assume I know who was dressed up as sausage and chips).
