I don’t really know where to start with this, but strap yourself in because this could be a big one!

This programme could and should have been good - the original idea of showing people just how beautiful the country we live in actually is seems pretty flawless.  The best reality TV is never going to be Big Brother, or I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here or anything else like that, it’s programmes like Planet Earth, Wildlife on One, Blue Planet etc.  Nobody can beat nature for creating stunning and dramatic reality TV.

I know it’s not life or death, but I just hate the way it feels!  And it’s impossible to get out the box in one piece, at the exact size you want without it breaking up or stretching…

It’s the 21st century for crying out loud, someone invent something nicer!!!

The annoying thing about people who present sport on TV, is pretty much the same as the thing I hate about news readers.

Normally they are in a studio (often a studio in the stadium or at the golf course or whatever, but in a studio none the less), but then at other times they insist on being right where the action is.

When ITV bought the rights to show F1 in Britain, they started off with a lovely studio which they transported to each Grand Prix but now they have ditched that idea and insist on sending Steve Rider and Mark Blundell out into the pitlane prior to the race.

I get quite a few calls at work from people trying to sell us stuff - either that or switch our electricity/gas/telephones to their company because they can save us a fortune.

Firstly, without knowing how much we currently pay, how do they know how much they can save us?

And secondly, don’t they think that if we wanted a new photocopier or fax machine or whatever then we would go out and buy one rather than just sit about thinking “oh, I hope someone phones to sell us a photocopier today, I really miss the old one now it’s broken”?

The news each night is full of stories about everything from the release of new games consoles, to death and destruction in various places around the world - and all this information is delivered to us by intrepid reporters who have been despatched to these locations to relay on-the-spot and up-to-the-minute content.

All these stories are held together by the anchorman (or woman), who is stuck behind a desk in a studio.

Now this is alright, because they generally describe the events in simple language and show pictures and if necessary graphs and sometimes even a reconstruction.  All these things allow us to take on board the information they have to give, and understand it’s implications.
