If you don't get to see this Beeb Scotland, you've missed a cracking take on the Morcambe and Wise breakfast "Stripper" sketch with Anthony Worrall Thompson and Ainsley Harriott.

What happens if someone wants to do a "sponsored beat-a-child"?

F**king beans? What sort of a sick weirdo would do that?

Incidentally, does anyone have a theory on why the "entertainment" on telethon shows is always so spectacularly poor?

Lowest possible budget, lowest common denominator stuff to get the maximum number of gullible viewers, nobody will mind if it's crap, after all, it's for charidee...

It's never worth watching until after midnight, by which time Terry's had a few shandies. 
Armageddon!
Mister Matty Posted Nov 21, 2003
The thing is, EV, surely if it was *better* stuff then more people would watch and charidee would get more money.
Or am I missing the point?

It seems to me that the worse the programming, the more money we give - excatly the same way the licensing works

It'd be more fun if more of the performers were drunk, like when Vic & Bob did that "pints of lager" thing on Comic Relief in 1995

Oh, Zag, how terribly naive. You're overlooking the factor on which nearly all modern television is based: the public are idiots. Have you never seen ITV2?
