The amount of people that watch a particular programme is no indicator of the quality of that programme. The X Factor, I'm a celebrity, the soaps; all pull in massive (sniff) audiences. Doesn't mean to say they're of a high quality though.
I never said it was high quality did I?
But it's popular and surely Clarkson doesn't need to be put in the same boat as Uncle Jimmy?
Next they'll be saying Amos was banging Mr Gilkes.
Where did I mention "uncle Jimmy"? As to what I
did say, I'll amend it. You said
They're doing something right for a large number of people who tune in week after week.
That intimates that because the programme gets a large audience, that means the producers are doing something right. The two don't necessarily go hand in hand, as my examples earlier show. As it happens (there's my "uncle Jimmy" reference), the basic premise for the programme isn't the worst out there; it just needs new fresh presenters. It's time the current three were put out to grass. You obviously disagree; fair enough. We'll have to agree to differ.
