The BBC has completely imploded. It's pretty tragic when 'Pointless', a daytime quiz show, is the pinnacle of your comedy output.
An annual budget of £7.5bn, and this is what they produce. I used to be the staunchest of Beeb enthusiasts, and now I spend most of my time watching the History channel. For the first time, the licence fee seems like poor value for money.

Watched the first part of first episode with increasing incredulity. It might have revealed itself to be deeply 'ironic' before the end. However I had painted the woodwork in the utility room that afternoon and didn't want to miss the point where the film on the Dulux moved beyond tacky.

Following on from the success of the "back to the 1970s" drama "Life on Mars", the BBC launched a new comeday "Citizen Khan", promising "all the unfunny and mildly racist humour of a 1970s sitcom"
A spokesman said "they were reviewing a proposal for a department store in which they ridiculed a gay man, while another character would entertain the audience with jokes about her pet cat, 'Cunt'".
They said they had considered having a saturday night show with some out of date celebrity trying to be funny and failing miserably, but plans for "the generation game" had to be put on hold when it was discovered that Bruce Forsyth was already filling his classic role in "Strictly Come Dancing"
