Is it Just Me?

Or does Neighbours look different now it's moved to Channel 5? It's as if it's been filmed on a different format but that can't be the case as it's always been filmed by the same production company so I can only guess that 5 adds a filter to alter the feel of the programmes to make them grittier.

Or something like that.

And Another Thing!

I'm sick to the back teeth of fat being on telly. After a long day at work and uni I quite like to veg out in front of no brain, dumbed down, easy on the eye tv and it's not happening at the moment. Every time I turn around there's super size, morbidly obese, high bmi, chip eating, thigh chaffing oafs with a full programme all for themselves warning other people about the dangers of turning into them and I've had enough.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows when they are eating healthily and when they aren't. No excuses. Stop shoving reconstituted crap into your gub, do some exercise, get off my telly and let me enjoy my well deserved little veg out in peace.

Thank you.

Funniest TV moment of 2008

Yes, I know we're only 10 days in and I'm sure there will be other amusing things for our televisual entertainment but this made me laugh out loud for a long time and I'm still giggling as I write this.

Picture the scene Amanda Lamb is trying to find England striker Jermain Defoe and his 22 year old, model fiancee, Charlotte Mears, a holiday home in Mallorca for less than £2million. She succeeds in finding them a 5 bedroom property that Charlotte loves with all furniture included for only £1.8m. Charlotte puts in an offer for £1.6m which the owners decline. The show ends with Charlotte humming and hawing over the extra £100,000 the owners have asked for.

Cue voiceover man.

"Since the end of filming Charlotte and Jermain have split up. Aww"

Fan-flipping-tastic! That voiceover man deserves an oscar or an MBE or something worthy of his wonderfully profound, insightful commentary.

Love it.
