I give up when it comes to television today. It's a complete disaster. If it's not the latest "reality" programme, it's the 100 best or 100 worst of some thing or other. Cheap and "lazy" television all round. Must be less then 10% of it worth watching these days. Very tempted to stop my licence again. Mind you, when I went without a licence a few years ago, for about a year, I couldn't believe the amount of "abuse" I got from the licensing authorities, who basically assumed that I had to be watching television illegally, as if it was "unthinkable" that one could survive without watching television. It was this assumption that really bothered me, as if I was "guilty until proved innocent" rather than the other way round. Eventually I gave in to the continual nagging and just got a licence again! I email the beeb all the time - as you might imagine - about all sorts of wrongdoings. Mind you, they are quite responsive to most of my criticisms!
