Its the old story, once you get a foot in the door, My god, she must have been wearing Pit Boots because both of the Wosses are Talentless. Good for her. Show business is an extremely difficult nut to crack and people need that push push push to even get a look in. I don't agree with this blanket word of "talentless". You may not personally like them and may not choose to watch them (...in fact neither do I really) however, nobody in a world as fickle and brutal as television gets a career spanning decades and multiple contracts if they have no Talent. The fact is they still are deemed a sellable asset. Even Paul Ross, who is clearly the less valuable of the brothers still gets a nice 6-figure salary fronting radio programs and and low rent presenting on Lidl level TV shows. All the executives will care about is what draw they have - they must have enough for them to keep writing the cheques over the 1001 other talking heads available.

shims Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Other than some BBC4 and Sky Arts music, art and architecture documentaries and the odd movie on Talking Pictures TV (often good) or the Horror Channel (offer not good!) and some Channel 4 News and some US car restoration shows I think I switch over most everything. I tend to leave the TV on mute and listen to music and scroll through the channels on the remote occasionally to see if I catch something worth turning up the volume on. 😁 Most presenter types infuriate me and programmes that could be interesting are spoiled by them - and the corny way they are packaged to attract casual viewers. I don't worry about ensuring that I see something now. If I do, fine. If not, also fine. Life's too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can vote all the lot off em off together instead of one at a time, it has got to be the worst year EVER, boring so called Celebs and ridiculous settings.

I tried watching ER on All4 box set and oh my! In the breaks the ads are on a loop, the same ones over and over for ages, watching normal telly you can at least escape them by switching channels, that is where Netflix is better, Films ect not interupted. Bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
