I watched that Bake off final last week.

What's the fuss about this show?

The cakes looked **** and the people were horrible.

If someone had told us 30 years ago that one day the seemingly most popular thing on television, and indeed headline news story on occasions, would be a cake baking contest we wouldn't have believed it imo.

I flick through the channels sometimes and all that seems to be on is Top Gear and Police Interceptors.

But this bake off show I don't see the appeal I don't even like the judges. Masterchef I understand.

Yeah, but 30 years ago, the Generation Game got 20 million-plus viewers and that involved members of the public doing things badly while Larry Grayson/Bruce Forsyth mocked them and remembering a conveyor belt full of old tat. I don't think things have changed that much.

I am not a fan of the modern gameshow though.
There is one which is just a penny drop machine.

True. The only time I got to see that was when visiting the working-class grandparents. There was always a cuddly toy, and a food mixer. That and all the other appalling stuff that used to be in Saturday prime-time, and presumably still is. Apart from sport I doubt I've watched BBC1 or ITV on Saturday evening since the 1980s.

It was usually up against something even worse on ITV. I remember in those days the telly would just be on regardless of whether what was on was worth watching or not. Saturday evenings were just a long, hard crawl over broken glass to the Grail of Match of the Day and maybe a late horror movie with boobies and gore in.

ITV Is a mighty fine organisation I will not have a bad word said about their programming.
At least for one month,
