After being invited to watch, in no particular order: houses being bought, houses being built, houses being decorated, buildings being demolished, fish being caught, holes being dug, cars being mended and sold, people buying suitcases and I’m sure there’s more that haven’t sprung to mind, we have arrived at what must be the bottom of a very deep barrel,,,,,, The Butcher. A programme about cutting meat! Yes, you read right,,, a TV show about cutting meat! OMFG!
Completely agree, it's thousands of channels of rubbish designed only to get you watch adverts and capture all your data when you log on to a site that interests you (god forbid) Working from home has exposed me to TV I would normally never have watched-it's awful, and where do the presenters get those fantastic teeth from? I have been told how to cook hundreds of times by people I've never heard of, with ingredients I've never seen in Aldi, and nobody has ever mentioned pork dripping on fresh cut bread (mucky drip I'm talking about) with salt on. I went out early today to Mam Tor, climbed up it and just listened to the silence...only it wasn't silence, the sound of bird chatter was everywhere. It was amazing.. and I couldn't identify a single bird who was singing...how bad is that? I used to roam around the fields around Grimey as a kid listening to the linnets but haven't hard one for years I know not everyone can drive to these spots, but thinking about folk sitting at home watching the tripe on TV is just depressing. As a species I think we are losing touch (or mostly have lost touch) with the land and it's inhabitants
Been thinking this for ages, it's absolutely pathetic what is classed as entertainment these days, wasn't there supposed to be one called strangers making babies
Plenty of great tv out there. Granted most of it is stuck behind the paywall but Netfilix, Prime, Discovery+ and many more have plenty of top content. A good iptv subscription helps but despite having a decent one i also subscribe to a couple of these and its still well less than a sky/bt subscription
It seems to be purely about budget and competition. When there were only a few channels they were guaranteed a bigger share of the audience so could invest a bigger budget and more time in the show which meant you got writers, directors and generally a proper show. Now they know they could be getting just 1% of the potential audience so they can't risk as big a budget. Homes under the hammer, one person and a camera. Job done
We had one of our properties on homes under the hammer and thats pretty much what it is. A camera man turns up with what's essentially a top end camcorder and gives the Valuer a pre written script, all the Valuer needs to do is insert the figures. We expected the presenters and a raft of crew, maybe even a catering truck. Nope, nothing. It was sh it.
No idea, it's not aired yet. We go round first, then a producer comes and collects the key for when the presenter does their bit, then it's all stitched together to make it look like it was all done on the same day. We're not allowed to be there when the presenter is there, we have to get the owners permission to release the keys to the production team for the day.
30 years old now and I never get tired of playing neds. The live shows they’ve done over the past 3 years were right up there with the ones in the early 90’s too
Have you seen the preview for the programme that is about people's manky smelly warty putrid bulbous feet? It is usually previewed at breakfast time when you're having your bacon and egg. And I dread, really dread, to imagine what goes on in Dr Pimple Popper. Thank goodness for the on/off button. Tv is at an all time low, how this rubbish can be called entertainment...
