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 and bounds since its first "three F's" incarnation of the late 1990's

Nah, that was the best era! Kirsty Young, Nancy Lam, Jerry Sadowitz. What more could you want?!

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 this BBC defender:

Prove it.

Also, does it really matter what order the stories are in? Can't think of anything that matters less.

*bangs head on wall repeatedly* Of course it fucking matters what order the stories are in!!!!! Can't think of anything that matters MORE. Anyone with even a vague interest in news knows this.

I know there are a lot of fanatical BBC fanboys and fangirls around. Hell, there are a number just on this forum. But surely even the most demented BBC bootlicker has to draw the line somewhere? Honestly, the Beeb could incite a genocide and these nutcases would still defend them. Beggars belief.

You lost me at “demented BBC bootlicker” to be honest.

Yeah have to agree, last night's 10 was a little weird considering everything else going on.

I felt the same way to be honest.

It's of no worth to anyone other than those who crave celebrity nonsense.

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

Gosh, this place has become a graveyard since that forum was moderated by Gilead or some Trump like regime.

Such a shame, there is zero debate, zero anything. It would be so ideal if someone had the passion to set something more like TVF.

The world is controlled enough without a bunch of freaks monitoring a tv forum like it's the Trump org.

Kim Kardashian as the lead on the ten? Who on earth thought that would be a good idea

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).

I'm thinking of another word starting with B....
