why do i have to put up with these foul-mouthed pitiful self aggrandising egocentrics every night in my living room ....


can't someone invent a box that plugs into your freeview and erases them from your television ?


whatever happened to real people ? Professor Heinz Wolff, Sir Patrick Moore, Angela Rippon and Tim brooke taylor ... bring back simple English charm, good manners and taste

They've already done it, its a little rectangular box with buttons on, whenever something comes on that you don’t like, just press a button on the little box and the nasty man will go away smile

One of the many reasons I don’t tend to watch any terrestrial TV, or come to think about it, anything other than the discovery channel and the odd movie

It gets worse, not only is he not American (the accent is put on) but he's actually Scottish!!!

I simply don't think this sort of thing should be allowed.

Yes, but that's not the PH way.

One must moan. Moan again. Moan somemore biggrin There are programs dedicated to this moaning, such as Top Gear which is on regularly so the moaners can get a predictable regular moan outlet-fest. biggrin

These "sorts" are still there, just not on the programs you appear to be watching biggrin I dunno, Stephen Fry, David Mitchell, Ian Hislop all have a certain "charm" and have been on the box tonight. You've clearly been watching something else biggrin

You could watch Strictly tomorrow if you want, I doubt Brucey will be anything but his good mannered, charming tasteful self...... smile

Actually he is Scottish and American (dual citizenship), so doubly annoying.

Both parents are Scottish though as I remember (did some "Who do you think you are" family history prog) but went to the US, accent etc. is all for career. Fair play, he's putting himself out there and making something out of his life etc.

Anyway, OP, much as I do agree there's a lot of crap on TV including some of those you mention but I gave up a long time ago being annoyed by crap on TV (esp on saturday nights I might add) and being more selective about what I watch. Life's too short etc.....

Not making anti-scottish remarks, just highlight the absurdity of it all. Am not anti-scottish in the slightest so gently remove that chip winkbiggrin

Not sure how the thread reads (had a few beers wink) but it was all posted as banter, as a laugh.

I thought Canadian - moved there as a child, hence the accent.
