Exactly this.100% pointless. Had it not been for the fact that you can now record the programme and watch it at your leisure, there's no way I would still be watching it. It doesn't matter how many new shiny graphics and photographic effects they give to it, the show exists solely for old time's sake. Tradition. But the world has changed immeasurably in the half-century (and more) since its inception. The idea then was to present a programme that was both informative and entertaining, something the Alpha male would have to talk with his workmates about on a Monday morning, over a cuppa and a smoke. But somewhere along the way it's lost its old-school charm and is now nothing more than an irrelevance, a football programme where the actual football itself takes second place to the opinions of a collection of smug, self-important, middle-aged wealthy men quoting endless clichès but ultimately, adding the sum total of nothing to an ever-decreasing audience.
