But TVF has always done speculation and "pre-launch" threads. The difference, and problem, here is the fanatic nature of a handful of inarticulate school children who seem to be under some weird impression that if their post isn't the latest one then they haven't been commenting enough.

I can think of one thread that has certainly improved since your departure.

I hear Molly is considering removing the Protection from Harassment order

Good post from one of the school kids in the GMB thread.

I think people are coming to too many judgements pre-the first episode! I'm reserving judgement until I see the first episode. Probably me just being naive hoping It'll work!

Shame they preceded it with:

I give it three days before they hand over to someone whose got a different name to the person actually giving the local bulletin! So unrealistic to think this will work effectively!

We need a facepalm smiley.

Is that a Eurovision reference or did I miss something?

Also, again worth noting this launches on the schools' first day back. Thus causing a school holiday pre launch period.

It's a BBC Radio WM reference from the old new Central West and BBC Midlands thread
