Jesus CHRIST I hate it. There is a reason these people aren't already on TV, in established - or new - proper shows. BECAUSE THEY'RE SHIT.

And now, even Points of View has stooped down to this level. They're asking people to send in their own videos of complaints, and sending them on 'investigative' journies to solve their questions. I'm not a regular watcher so not sure just to how much extent this happened previously, but come on! Get Wogan back, with his e-mails, letters and phone calls. No bloody videos from viewers!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Yuck.

I can't even stand TV or radio phone ins. I always switch over.

Ordinary members of the public should not be on TV or radio. Only about 0.1% of them have any charisma, or the ability not to stutter and mumble.

Ha, I'm watching this too.

They never did this when Wogan was on. Yes, they showed his bulging trouser snake, but never anything as grotesque as the great British public!

Precisely x 2.

It's called cheap TV ladies and gents and will be coming to every programme near you. Soon you'll have programmes like the News being completely covered by home videos. I'm looking forward to 'The Worlds Funniest Beheadings'.

Ah I was going to mention something alonf those lines, roscoff!

We know it's cheap. So is supermarket own-brand cola. It's still shit.

Urgh not as bad as supermarket own-brand lemonade. *That* is awful.

But you can buy a bottle of Robinson's with it and mix the two to get a nice, cheap fruity pop.
A bit like a Soda Stream. Bet you don't remember those Robyn?

I know what they are, but only from when they had a terrible re-launch campaign.

I can't taste the difference between Coke and Brand X cola. Same goes for any fake junk food....except Kraft Dinner (Macaroni and Cheese) I like my yellow death with a brand name thank you.

Haha!

I can tell the difference with Colas quite easily for some reason.

I can tell the difference between Coke from a plastic bottle, a can, a Countour bottle, and on tap.

I can too!

Kindred spirits!

(... You should be scared.)
