Too much of the good stuff put out by ITV is very old. No less enjoyable for that, but it does indicate a lack of new ideas which in my view is the reason why the overall quality of ITV has plummetted in recent years. I hardly watch it at all now, and frankly am surprised when I remind myself that my favourite programme on ITV - Taggart - is not actually on BBC1!

BBC1, on the other hand, I am very impressed with. Waking the Dead is totally superb, 55 Degrees North is very good and shows tremendous promise, and the quality of its football coverage is still unbeatable, although there is sadly too little of it. Even old shows like Changing Rooms have been successfully made over - I watched it last night and surprised myself by really enjoying it.
