Colin reckons... the amount of swearing on TV and radio is unnecessary

I'm no shrinking violet who feels the need to write to his MP if the tabloids tell me that a popular entertainer has used a rude word. I go to a lot of football matches where I hear language that would make Cynthia Payne blush. But there's a time a place for that sort of thing. I mean if you go about your daily life using the F and C words as often as certain TV cooks people would think of you as either an ASBOtard or a sufferer of tourette's syndrome. It makes you sound like a moron so why do these supposedly intelligent broadcasters thing it's OK? Bunch of *%$£ing vv@nkers that's why.

David wins

David thinks... John Seargent was right to pull out of Strictly Come Dancing. The public were voting to punish the unecessarily nasty judges but were actually punishing the other contestants as a result.

Matola says... ...right to say that his dancing is apalling but totally out of order when they say that the public should not vote for him. He is definitely adding to the program. The British public love an under-dog. Bring back John Seargant,
Posted 22nd Nov 08 at 21:09
Matola says... He shoulda stayed. Money raised from the public voting goes to children in need. He obviously led lots of people to vote, and hence raised a lot of money. I think rather than the public, it was the judges that put him in an uncomfortable position. They have every...

David says... ....entertaining, they voted for him week after week. So, at the end of the day...shouldn't he have stayed? No one gets a job at the end of this as someone mentioned....
Posted 22nd Nov 08 at 19:40
David says... Man, I put that opinion up and now I'm having second thought. It's not a dancing show (come dancing is), it's an entertainment show with a public vote. THe public voted for John Seargent because in part, they found him entertaining and in part because they found that poking the judges was also...

balski says... I agree = he did the right thing for the show - if he had stayed in and won- that would be the end of strictly - you wouldnt get future contestants entering and perversely the public would lose interest cos it wasnt based on talent and entertainment in that sense.
Posted 22nd Nov 08 at 05:58
David says... Agree with KTB. The public, ironically, through trying to be kind to him, actually put him in an uncomfortable and somewhat embarrassing situation!
Posted 21st Nov 08 at 16:18
KTB says... I think John was put in a ridiculous position by the voters who love an underdog but had no sense. It was one thing when it was just no hopers getting knocked out but a different matter entirely when good dancers like Cheri went. As the man himself said the joy went out of winning then.

The Phantom says... I tihnk the frustration is that some people were backing him, inline with the competition rules and depsite that, he's pulled out...

Graham says... Well judges and contestants all get paid well, and the viewers get entertained so I can't see there are any losers.
Posted 21st Nov 08 at 13:05
David says... fed up of bully boy public humiliation type talk from 'judges' in this type of show

Barry loses

Barry thinks... that the BBC will not dare bring Jonathan Ross back on air. He has blown it for good now that the silent majority has expressed its disgust at the way the BBC has dumbed down too much of its output.

Matola says... no, thank you, I am willing to take the risk that you may be banged up
Posted 24th Nov 08 at 21:34
Barry says... Matola, I could try but are you sure you would not like the pleasure of trying it first? OAPs tend to be banged up first nowadays.
Posted 23rd Nov 08 at 17:46
Matola says... Barry - you should refuse to pay your tv license fee - apparently BBC aren't prosecuting for fear of people being made into martyrs. Allegedly Noel Edmonds refuses to pay his, without any repurcussions. If they don't come and get you, then I might try it too.
Posted 22nd Nov 08 at 21:22
Barry says... Well today we had the answer. He will be back so I was wrong. For many people wishing to see the BBC raise its standards this is however a pity.
Posted 22nd Nov 08 at 15:04
balski says... Sorry Barry - I disagree -- I think the BBC will bring JR back ( sounds like an episode of Dallas) because this incident has increased his cult status and many people will be interested to see what he has to say etc when he does come back and also to show support for him
Posted 22nd Nov 08 at 06:18
mat says... i always thought ross' saturday morning show was much better when he was on holiday and mark lemarr was doing it
Posted 13th Nov 08 at 17:33
Colin says... The "Silent majority" most of whom didn't listen to the show and probably hadn't heard of Radio 2 let alone the presenters involved. Who are this outraged "majority" who scour their newspapers looking for things to complain about?
Posted 12th Nov 08 at 18:58
Biff says... JR will be back after his 3 months and his ratings will be through the roof !
Posted 12th Nov 08 at 18:22
dewolfe says... I agree with Graham. I think JR is such a big ratings puller that the BBC won't get rid of him. Besides, give it a couple of months and it'll all be forgotten.
Posted 12th Nov 08 at 09:34
Graham says... He'll be back because he's a massive ratings draw but BBC producers will be paying a bit more attention in the edit I suspect.

Matola wins

Matola believes... there the BBC are stringing out tv shows shamelessly rather than making new quality tv.

Look at 'strictly'. it's on for 90mins on sat night then the results show is on the next day and lasts 60 mins. 80% of the sunday programme is basically a round up of what was shown on sat. I am a big fan of Strictly, but even this is too much for me. It is shameless that they are filling up time like this. Rubbish I say, Rubbish.

Matola is sure... that i can't wait for 'Strictly' to start.

So much fun to watch - love all the dancing, outfits, colours etc. (I fully expect there to be a big male / female divide here).

dewolfe loses

dewolfe believes... That Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse are back on great form.

I was expecting their comedy show to be a bit dated but it's great. If you missed the Dragon's Den sketch, check it out. One of the best comic duo around. If you watch them and then the Armstrong and Miller show afterwards, you can see just how superior Enfield and Whitehouse really are.

dewolfe has posted a supporting video for this opinion. Click here to view it.

Cindarella wins

Cindarella believes... I do not want to know what Jordan and Pete have to say to one another or what their life is like.

Why do the producers think we want to know? Neither of them respects the other. They don't seem like particularly nice people. Surely there are better role models to put on TV. In fact, anything would be more interesting.

Cindarella is convinced... Eastenders should come with a serious health warning.

It is just pure misery from start to finish. Characters are constantly arguing and fighting. You cannot feel good watching this trash. It should be removed from our screens.

The Phantom insists... There are far far too many sob stories on all the competition shows like X Factor, Americal Idol, Dragons Den etc. It seems that every other contestant comes in with 40 people's worth of hardship.

Sure some people have a tough start and it's good to see them get a chance but I think we've reached saturation point!

Colin decrees... The Mighty Boosh is not funny

and the only people who would laugh at it are drug addled students. The comedy, such as it is, is a poor pastiche of such greats as 'League of Gentlemen', 'The Goon Show' and 'The Young Ones'. Anyone over the age of 30 would see this for the risible regurgitated tosh that it is.
