He will add: "Sin Cities and Temptation Islands jostle with The Villa Uncut, and a whole channel - Men and Motors - which besmirches the Granada name."

i think hes right i dont watch tv hardly i switch it on and all i see is DIY shows pop contests programs such as 'the villa' the david blaine saga that was recently shown as well as big brother and plenty more TV is becoming a medium that is fed full of absloute b**ls**t and the sad fact is people watch it im mean ffs
I completely agree with you - yes, it can happen

The irony is, our last, best hope for decent quality programming is the BBC, funded to the hilt by our licence fees. Sure you won't change your mind about that?
