It's one of my favourite programmes. Kate is sex on steroids. The chap in the baseball hat gives bravura performances covering up for the fact that absolutely nothing has happened in the last 24 hours apart from a seagull shifting from left leg to right leg. And without Bill Oddie half the UK's bloggers would have nothing to grouse about.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074816573442173758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-40944556971169078722008-10-28T13:17:00.000+00:002008-10-28T13:17:00.000+00:00Well Nige, it all started out fairly innocuously, ...Well Nige, it all started out fairly innocuously, Bill did a bit of rutting and as usual interrupted Kate, who pouted a bit.

In the downward trawl for increased ratings, the only measure of success these days, you can open the schedules at any page of the week for evidence of falling standards in a once-great organization, the most recent seen by this writer a knees-up, leg-over called The Tudors, a subject that, not so many years ago would have brought out the best in the Beeb.<BR/>If you must hire a bipolar sex-addicted alcoholic and ex-heroin addict, and team him up with another 'loose canon', of admittedly a more mature vintage, but also capable of appalling lapses of judgement, should you be surprised if the programme descends into schoolboy attempts at humour?<BR/>This is a trend - and it is getting worse by the day.mahlermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469854614938507153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-22064990752258466852008-10-28T12:39:00.000+00:002008-10-28T12:39:00.000+00:00It's been a long time since the top bods at the Be...It's been a long time since the top bods at the Beeb fell on anything, other than meals of five-course money. My suggestion is that the felons be locked in a room for 24 hours with Stephen Fry.
