Title: BBC programmes
Post by: Kiwifruit on Sunday, 29 July 2018, 07:08 AM
For the British........
The BBC used to make programmes like the Blue Planet, lots about nature and some good drama series.
Imagine my surprise when im channel surfing and stumble across some bird and the female presenter discussing the shape and size of bunch of fella's todgers.......
Then in the finish she slips into her birthday suit and choses a fella to go on a date with.
At half time they change sides and a bloke gets to discuss the pros and cons of the muffins on offer.......
Certainly more interested in the second half.......then the missus comes in and asks what are you watching?......."BBC Doco love".
Don't think it was a David Attenborough production.
Where do they come up with this stuff ??  :rofl2:

I've seen that program before too Col. Bloody staggering what passes as entertainment these days. I was genuinely shocked that something like that would make it on to free to air tv, n not even be on a porn channel.
I'm amazed at what people will do just to be on telly! Loosers.

For you Ozzys or Kiwis just google it if your bored with nothing better to do..
It makes me ashamed to be a Brit !
God knows what the rest of the world thinks if they see that program !

I'm watching the 8 hour race from Suzuka on Eurosport.  There's been a few good battles, crashes, a bike on fire.

That's my kind of reality TV.

UK TV programmes leave a lot to be desired these days. Me and Mrs F watch very little TV.
It's too easy to spend the evening channel surfing and not actually find anything decent to watch. Even with an Amazon Fire TV stick and Netflix we struggle at times.

Still have to pay the bloody TV licence though...£150.50 a year :furious: :furious:

We don't watch any so called reality tv, a bunch of well paid tossers pissing about in a safe, set up environment and calling it reality, these are just programs for  :jack:

Did you seriously Google for b.b.c and birds?

As in.... big black clocks on white chicks? :stir:


That's not smart..but can happen to anyone

I once needed new label cassettes for a dyno label writer....

Can you guess how many hits I got when I googled for "black on white tape" :facepalm..

Are you sure that was BBC? It sounds a lot like "Naked Attraction", which is a Channel 4 show.

Yeah we don't have that here because anyone trying to collect it would get shot / bitten / punched / in some other way made clear to them that is bullshit. :)

Here it's over 200 € a year. People have been thrown in jail until they paid up. Even if you don't have a TV (they expanded it to include Internet), as long as you live here you have to pay unless your income is very low.

I often hear people moaning about the TV licence fee, but that's the price of watching TV without any adverts. If you think about it, the other UK terrestrial channels are funded by advertising, which means that if you buy pretty much anything from a shop you are funding those channels even if you don't have a TV.

At least with the licence fee you can ditch your TV and not pay it.

I was only joking. Just pointing out that everyone lost their shit about the BBC making a programme that they didn't actually make.

Unfortunately I couldn't go on it, they didn't have a wide enough lens.

BBC used to have a better selection then our s**ty rte here when I watched.
€160 TV licence.
You could drink drive with no Nct or tax and get off lighter then someone who doesn't have there TV licence!!!
Don't watch TV much now since streaming has come along.
Used to watch that Jeremy kyle show for the laugh.
I thought it was hilarious entertainment :rofl2: :rofl2:

TV is full of complete dross in my view... I have 360 channels via online tv and 99% is pure pish (that's the Scot coming out in me  :lol:).  Still.. it keeps swmbo out of my hair when I'm otherwise 'occupied'  :whistling:
