Ok yeah, I have RAGING pmt, but I fucking despise ITV. It's just run by cunts and watched by cunts. I'm sure it didn't use to be as bad as it is now? Daytime TV cunts, reality tv cunts. Cunt Factor. News at Cunt. As for the adverts...no win no fee, bingo, money shop, over 50s car insurance.

FUCK OF ITV!

You forgot adverts for over 50s life plans where you're pretty much guaranteed to pay in loads more than you'll ever get out but you get a Parker pen so it's all ok.

I know what you mean, but they do make up for it every now and again by having Star Wars on.

Highlight of my week for the next 4 weeks now.

I forgive ITV - but only because of Poirot.
The rest of the time I watch other stuff on other channels.

Tricky one. YANBU for the reasons listed, but on the other hand, if obliterated from history, we would be without DangerMouse, Count Duckula and Kate Thornton would probably be ruining Strictly.

I think ITV have really upped their game recently, in the drama department at least. Broadchurch, The Bletchely Circle, Marchlands, Appropriate Adult etc.

TV is shit in general at the moment.

BBC1 are showing bloody Hyacinth Bucket in the afternoons. I had forgotten how awful it was. BBC2 are showing Cagney and Lacey and Allo Allo. Confused

As a child we weren't allowed ITV and especially not Tiswas.

You're watching the wrong TV. My planner is crammed full of wonderful stuff; True Blood, Homeland, Walking Dead, Elementary, Chicago Fire, x factor The Newsroom, Haven...

Sparkling My parents didn't even get an effin' TV till the late 60s deliberately too. I hated them for it we just felt soo left out at school Sad Yet bizzarrely it turned out nearly the whole family earns it's crust from ITV; there's a lot of good on it. TG for the remote so I can silence the adverts.
