It's very bizarre. I can only imagine it's part of the Beeb's obsession with 'reaching people where they are' (in other words, putting out tabloid crap).

Ah well. At least you read most of my post. Can’t please everyone, I guess. ☺️

Re: Digital Spy Watch News and Information Board

Someone on the forums said this in response to the Kim Kardashian verdict leading last night's BBC News at Ten:

New low, top story on News At Ten. Kim Kardashian hardly anyone in the UK cares about her at all

I think most would agree leading the Ten with that is questionable at best. But not ...

Re: Digital Spy Watch News and Information Board



There are one or two people on there who do nothing but big up Channel 5 and it really winds me up. I don't understand how anyone can act so fanatically over a not-very-good TV channel.


I'll grant you that Channel 5 has its hits and misses but so does every station. To me its come on in leaps ...

Comic Relief just isn't the same without Tumble Tower's musings. It's a shame management didn't see fit to allow him on, just for one night.

Re: Digital Spy Watch News and Information Board

Generally the people who get so upset by political discussions are only upset because said political discussions don't align with their politics.

Re: Digital Spy Watch News and Information Board


That US election thread seriously needs shut down. It hasn’t been about broadcasting in months. The politics board closed for a reason.


The politics board closed, I think, because there was some harassment going on. Think it might have been something to do with the Labour antisemitism scandal ...

Re: Digital Spy Watch News and Information Board

DS forums are nothing but a haven for cranks and fruitcakes, and that's been the case for a long time. Channel 5 seems to attract the most inflammatory discussions there, weirdly enough. To be honest I'm surprised the forums weren't shut down years ago.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

That whole BBC News thread is a binfire. Just constant bickering between BBC bashers and BBC bootlickers. There's no place for rational discussion and this three-day-long pissing match over that Traitors liveblog is beyond pathetic. And amongst all that everyone seems to have missed the news about ...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board




I can understand why some threads like the GB News ones are proactively moderated, but the big problem with that is when there's something to talk about and posts are taking many hours to be moderated.

Today the mods are complaining about the 'pile on' of posts of the same tweet from a ...
