Isn't there a lot of shit TV on at the moment. Actually 'at the moment' is the wrong phrase - it's all the time.
Bonekickers is just dumb-fuck rubbish, with Julie Graham, who always turns up in crap (Strictly Confidential, William and Mary - and soon the Survivors revival, which really hurts already). It's a kiddie show, that even they mock. The acting's shocking, the dialogue is insane - just because Matthew Graham and Ashely Pharoah created Life On Mars doesn't mean they have the midas touch. The BBC forums are alive with disgruntled viewers. It makes Rogue's Rock look like Lord Of The Flies.
You won't have seen Harley Street yet, but it's another ITV drama-by-numbers disaster that wants to be Nip/Tuck meets Holby City with a cast of dull ex-soap stars hamming it up. Suranne Jones was only good as Karen McDonald in Corrie. Paul Nicholls is awful in everything. It's trash. Avoid.
Channel 4 is awash with Big Brother, which I have zero interest in, and most night I scour the schedules to see if there's anything at all worth watching on the main channels. And there isn't. Even BBC4's pickings a bit lean at the moment.
I never even look at five. I don't like Dexter.
Even Corrie's gone off.
The only things worth watching are The Wire (but the way everyone bangs on about how marvellous it is could put some people off), Casualty (you can't beat it), Celebrity Masterchef, Mary Queen Of Shops, EastEnders is okay, and I'm quite enjoying Last Choir Standing, even though we don't see much of the choirs and Sharon D Clarke is a big I Am.
Otherwise it's DVD box sets (currently Big Love series 2, Mary Tyler Moore series 4) or films.
Read a book!
