Yes - the very random pilot UK wide current affairs fluff and gristle fest that was The One Show has returned as - shockingly - The One Show. The basis of the show, as I have previously mentioned, is Nationwide a programme that ran through the 70's and early 80's and presented local events of whimsy to the nation. Who can forget Frank "Coke and a tart" Bough or Sue "...fart" Lawley. They were cuddly and lovely then - back in the dark time before celebrities had ophthalmoscopes shoved up their arse to see it all flushed out. It was nice sweaters and nasty but subtle jewelry.
Now we have the excrable Adrian Chiles mubling and being insulting to many guests. (yesterday in an assessment of male and female characteristics he described women as “poor women” which is a little insulting to say the least.) With him is his latest babe. The babe often is a much better presenter than Chiles but is “supporting him” which I cannot understad for the life of me.
And then there are the topics. For a number of weeks we have had programmes on clouds. It involves pretty much just looking at the sky. Nice, but if you want to do it, go outside! Don’t watch it on TV!
We may have already passed the point where Frank would have said – come on this is really cheap TV for the test signal viewers out there!
