I had the misfortune of watching this for 10 minutes last night
Another cliche ridden saturday night yawn fest seemingly designed to keep the Sun readership away from whatever ITV/SkyOne is showing

Should the BBC really be wasting license payers money on this crap? It really seems like the sort of dross better suited to ITV.
It's neither cutting edge, socially important, innovatative or anything else I think my license money should be spent on

Can you provide an example of 'socially important' programmes to provide a reference...but other than that totally agree, tulipe of the highest order

Hear Hear!

Total dross

It was alright. Very cliched and not as much in the line of pretty looking women as I'd like but I'll make do and mend.

It's better than Bonekickers - but then that's not hard.

Personally I'm waiting on the next series of this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/lastmanstanding/ - I know it's not exactly intellectual, but for some reason I really got into the last series.

I caught about 5 seconds of it whilst flicking channels. Thought it was Robin Hood tbh. Surely the same production team involved, doing this instead of twiddling thumbs. Both seem to be aimed at kids, or those with the mental age of one.

As for the scam that is the television licence, I look forward to the day I can get everything I want via the internet (IPTV etc) and cancel my licence. They can't expect people to pay it for having an internet connection can they, if I ditched all other methods of receiving programmes?

No traditional TV signal receiver (even TV cards in PCs), no need to pay the licence fee isn't it?

Agreed. This isn't meant to be adult viewing, surely?

Perhaps the real question is why the BBC are scheduling kids programmes in a prime-time slot.

Maybe the government's attempting to dumb down the nation seeing as the internet is helping people become smarter and make more educated decisions.

Though from what I remember it's always been this way, saturday night telly full of crap that only women seem to enjoy. Maybe it's that other conspiracy, to drive us all out to the pubs and restaurants to generate more tax.

But as we mostly have to drive to said pubs and restaurants, it's a win-win for the govt. as they can then criminalise us and demand our DNA for drink-driving, as we weave our merry way home along the A Roads of Britain.
