I don't think I could stop visiting/posting in case I missed treats like this, but it's getting more painful by the day. I wasn't that bad when I first joined surely...

Perhaps I'm hardened to it from a week or so of trying to discern useful information from the Shopping Telly forums. I dare you to try it, Pete.

What part of "the BBC would not be allowed to axe BBC Parliament and it only costs 25p to run" is not clear with TV Forumers?

What is it about ITV breakfast show discussions that seems to attract the most inane posters, it's been happening since the days of GMTV.

The idea of merging Parliament and BBC News still keeps being trotted out, presumably they think Parliament consists of the few minutes of sound bites from PMQs you see on the news, rather than the debates that last for hours on end that you get across the rest of the week. Is like to know how that would fit into a rolling news channel.

I dunno. To me Breakfast programmes are some of the dullest on telly, and in the case of GMTV/ITV each new format is more tragically moribund than the last. You just know that 18 months down the line it'll revert to (dull) form.

I wish the forum would stick to purpose and insist that discussions in the TV Home Forum are related to presentation (including legal/technical stuff).

Rijowhi seems to be convinced he is the new Director General of the BBC and has a comprehensive plan to 'fix' it - the plan itself is ridiculous.

Well there we go, how dare anyone question the Good Morning Britain thread.
