Top Show !?!?!

It really is time for the licence fee to be scraped. It is bad enough we have to put up with the endless reality shows, the desperately awful Eastenders, Jonathon Ross, BBC 3, Chris Moyles and the rest. All shows and programmes paid for out mine and your pocket. And if proof was needed just how deluded the folk who run good old Auntie are, there is is this news story, posted on the BBC website, and ranked the third most important news story of the day;

Thatcher barred from top BBC show

Carol Thatcher will no longer work on The One Show after being reported for making an off-air remark, the BBC has announced.

The daughter of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher referred to a tennis player as a "golliwog" backstage during filming of the BBC One programme.

However, the 55-year-old will not be banned from the BBC as a whole.

Now forget, for a moment the actual reason for the story. Yes, it is amazing how anybody could be offended by such a comment, but a lady of Mrs Thatchers experience should really know such language won't wash at the good old Beeb. No what really caught my eye on this story was the headline. "Thatcher barred from top BBC show" Is she no longer allowed on Newsnight? Has she been barred from racing a car on Top Gear? No Strictly Come Dancing? Nope, none of the above. She is no longer welcome on the "One Show." The most pointless programme in the universe, hosted by the most pointless man in the universe, the one and, thankfully only Adrian Chiles. I cannot grasp that somebody actually thought to call this a top show. I have no doubt somebody will point out that it gets a few million viewers, but millions of people also bought the "Pipes of Peace" by Paul McCartney. It doesn't mean it's not shit. I managed to get through about ten minutes of it once, but that was down to the fact I lost all motor skills, and was unable to use the remote, having been rendered a vegetable by the ever so dull Mr Chiles. How this fella gets the gigs he does is beyond me. All I know is the BBC are getting their moneys worth. He's everywhere! What makes it worse is that he does Match of the Day 2. His 2 good, 2 bad section is truly woeful. Bring back Des Lynam say I.
