Britain From Above

[Sciroccology]

Just a heads-up, starts at 2100 on BBC1.

Andrew Marr (brother of Johnny) presents an aerial view of Britain.

Might be worth a watch.

I saw a trailer for this in the week and it looked interesting - I think that I'll tune in. Thanks for the reminder.

Martin Taylor, managing director of retail for Wincanton is on with Andrew Marr tonight.

Thanks for the heads-up. Saw the trailers but of course forgot all about it. So far so interesting.

There seems to be another bit of it straight afterwards on BBC2 at 2200.

Andrew Marr is Scottish, Johnny Marr is from Manchester/Ireland - I really don't think that they are brothers.

That, as they say, is not funny!

Not remotely similar, Andrew Marr is Scottish for a start, Johnny Marr is a boiled-in-the bag socialist Manc. I suppose he is a good musician.

Guitarist from The Smiths / Electronic, writer of all those fabulous tunes which Steven Morrissey enjoyed making corrupting with his lyrical whimsy.

Heaven knows he's miserable now........

I was joking. You must have heard of "jokes"?

"So why do we get traffic jams?"

"Two reasons:

1) more cars than tarmac

2) tts."

Programs like this always leave me wondering....

...how much better would this program be without Andrew Marr.

[Simpo Two]

3) Lots of people can afford cars

4) Lots of people are not now working in fields or factories

5) Too many roadworks

6) Too many speed limits - keep cars on road longer

7) Too many people, period.

Save the planet! Don't watch Eastenders!

Perhaps they should have used his brother, Johnny.

Audience in a coma, I know, I know, it's serious...
