Good example - what's on the two channels right now?


BBC Three - new: festivals, sex and suspicious parents - Harry and Hannah go to their first festival experience.


Originality 0/10 - pointlessly following two kids around a muddy field for their first concert. Yawn.


BBC Four - Dancing in the Blitz: How world war 2 made British ballet - the birth of the royal ballet during a period of austerity.


Originality 8/10 - unique and something you'd struggle to find anywhere else. The story of an institution.

Yep, BBC4. I enjoy some of those too.


A few years back I watched Family Guy most nights for a month or so on BBC3. Since that time I have never watched BBC3 or Family Guy again.

To be honest I was vaguely swayed by the article until two things.

Firtsly he reminded me that BBC3 was responsible for two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, a programme so painfully awful it made Miranda look like Fawlty Towers, and secondly he used the word trope...gnnnahhahhaaaaaah

BBC3 was past it before it really got there


However, as we're in TV land, i'm rather partial to 'Yesterday' which is great for Nazi hunters and stuff like that


Of course that 'stuff' is solo watching, my other half looks and groans silently when she see's what i'm watching


"At least it's not Dave" I feebly plead as she heads upstairs



But leave BBC4 well alone please

Yes started on BBC2 and then shanked off to BBC3. A show so dreadful no one mourned it's passing.

Well yesterday on 'Yesterday' they had the guy from the Simon Wiesenthal Centre trying to find Dr Death Aribet Heim . After years of persuit it turns out he died in Egypt, but no body or bones to be tested. And 2 million euro in a German bankaccount untouched


Of course he'd be 94 by now, so finding him alive is slim, but a great programme it was


BBC3 was shite

ha! Thanks! I will definitely check 'Mongrels' out.


There was also a great animated series about a bunch of lab animals that had escaped from the lab they were kept in. It was on BBC2 after Newsnight about 7+ years ago. It was hilarious but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. In fact there were a handful of great UK made adult-themed cartoons back then that just disappeared off our screens.

    • Just a review for Andy. I have now used him for various jobs for 5 years or so. An absolute and complete star. Always goes above and beyond, never cuts a corner, and always prices incredibly fairly. If you need a handyman...he is your man. Could not recommend more highly.
    • Don’t know about cafes but the Victoria and Montpelier pubs always have always encouraged people working during the day.
    • Thank you Saied for the amazing work! I will see you in a few months.
    • If you care about the decline in the swift population please support the lovely Hannah Bourne-Taylor in her campaign to mandate 'swift bricks' in all new properties   From her website: What are swift bricks? Zero maintenance and sustainable, swift bricks are bricks that sit flush to the wall that provide a cavity nesting habitat for swifts and other cavity nesting birds. Surveys show species include House martins, starlings, House sparrows, nuthatch, blue tit, coal tit and wren. Why swift bricks are urgently and uniquely essential Without swift bricks there is no guaranteed nesting habitat for birds reliant on building cavities anywhere in the UK – and there never will be. We are inadvertently destroying their oldcavity nesting sites through renovation, demolition and insulation, while climate mitigation measures mean modern buildings will never provide natural homes for birds. https://hannahbournetaylor.com/ Don't be such a pompous bore. She is doing something to improve the world around us, what does it matter what social class she is from? The despicable Michael Gove offered support then did nothing. The current government, despite supposed concern for the environment, also failed to support the campaign. She took the trouble to write back to me when I asked a question. But carry on poking fun at honourable people while our surroundings decay.
