ITV to become ITV... or is that UTV?

Even the occasional decent film is butchered beyond belief with editing for content and timing, before you even get to the incessant ad breaks.

Champions League footie.

There was a good documentary on solicitors - the ones that so happen to be a half mile radius to the nearest cop shop and attract an certain clientèle.

At least there'd be a reason for that ban - rather than; None Specified........

Told you it was an accident! :p

We watched a bit of Splash last week, as big diving fans. What a shower of unmitigated awfulness. Vernon Kay has the charisma of a floorboard, the celebrities were utter nonentities, the format was stretched and laboured to beyond breaking point, there were more adverts than is medically safe (I now want to raze every sofa warehouse to the ground like the 2011 riots were just a warm-up), and the fabricated jeopardy was simply laughable. If that's ITV's idea of a primetime show then lord help them.

Splash is basically ITV's answer to Bring on the Wall, but without the wall. And as Radcliffe and Maconie pointed out the other day, they missed a trick in not calling it Come Dive with Me.

I can't attribute the quote, but I heard somebody suggest that they drain the pool and rename it "Spat" :D

I like a few others have mentioned have not watched any programme they have produced, besides Football & BTCC. All other programming is s***

As for splash, I heard from a friend that the programme he watched was an hour and a half and had only 5 or 6 dives? If thats true there must have been some filler in there. lol

More filler than in your average Wimpey home, and that's saying something!

Or Wimpy burger and that's saying something!
