Yes, by the way, I have forgotten about the Grand Tour. Without the discipline of a BBC production team behind them, Clarkson et al are rudderless old bores endlessly repeating the same tired cliches. It was a lavish disappointment. Not sure how that’s in any way relevant to a live dancing competition with viewer voting though. Neither the Grand Tour nor indeed TopGear were ever intended to be live or interactive.
You said ‘Netflix and Amazon’s output comes nowhere near the breadth required for public service broadcasting.’

If I have misinterpreted you, I apologise, but I don’t see how else that can be interpreted.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t like ‘The Grand Tour’. I was giving that as an example that disproves your point.

By the way, I do agree that your horse has definitely deceased.
