The whole format is dead. It was an improvement on Ceefax and a bit of an upgrade from the radio but the world has chnaged - People get thier updates from Twitter and can also see footage rather than Thompson and the rest try to explain what's going
Just fuck it off completley. Although, I haven't watched it for years so it really doesn't effect me one way or the other
Jill Scott, Ashley Cole & Eni Aluko morelike.
I haven't watched it for years, but it sounds like what happens to a lot of TV shows. Everyone likes the banter, then the producers realise that's what everyone likes, and try to manufacture it, which comes across as fake. Top Gear being the most obvious example, but also stuff like Big Brother too.It was great to start with, but they went too far down the “bantz” road.
Why can’t they just describe the game and add any insight they can (obviously not much with those 3, although Le Tiss wasn’t too bad).
If something funny happens, then have a laugh about it, not try to make a joke out of any situation And behave like schoolboys laughing at any small mistake any of their colleagues make.
The problem was that they all got older and made no attempt to keep up. So initially, they knew most of the players as they'd played with them, or coached them, or knew people who knew them, so could just about pretend to know something. But then that generation retired and a new generation came in, then another, and none of them made any attempt to keep up, so had nothing to offer except over the top reactions, acting like morons and laughing at shit banterIt was great to start with, but they went too far down the “bantz” road.
