Re: Coronavirus - Strange times

Anyone else find the narrative from the Welsh government a little bit alarming? Whether you agree with the lockdown or not is a matter for debate with arguments on both sides, but the government seem to have taken a very firm 'not interested in talking about it, just get on with it' approach in int...

Re: Coronavirus - Strange times

That said I do have one thought about lockdowns. Which is that if there was as much wide support for them as people claim, they wouldn't need to be implemented in the first place. People - as they did in mid March - would already be backing off all forms of social activity. March's lockdown was jus...

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

It’s gone from one extreme to another in the Newsroom, I can’t believe Jane Hill hosted the Ten last Friday and it wasn’t mentioned at all. Previously her daytime shift starting one hour early would generate two pages! You’re absolutely right! I noticed that Jane presented the Ten and couldn't beli...

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

No offence but seeing a load of English/Scottish/Welsh people continually talk about the 'best' name for UTV in the UTV thread , whilst they think they're being 'sensitive' about Northern Ireland is disheartening. It's white people talking about racism all over again!

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

Crikey! I'm beginning to think I ought to thank Asa for giving me a lifetime ban from the Newsroom. It has turned into a total circus. 'The Newsroom' got way out of hand this year. Whether it's due to lockdown keyboard warriors of an influx of people with no respect for rules and regs. I think I ma...

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

So JKDerry posted a ridiculous comment about Chris Whitty being the wrong person to give public health advice. He stigmatised everyone who has had COVID-19 as being stupid and it being their own fault. I commented that it was wrong to do so as neatly every one who’s got COVID-19 did so unwittingly a...

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

I wish certain people would stop using TVForum as a substitute for Google. Asking questions in a forum for another user to answer (when they themselves do not know the answer) is not what TVForum is about.

With his vigilance for social distancing breaches on TV shows Brekkie should get a job as a COVID marshal!
