because if I'm a tad sick of house auction programmes/house hunting programmes/more auction programmes. They are just crap!

I gave up watching ages ago because I couldn't stand anymore 'Crap in your Attic' with Alistair Public-School, or any more re runs of Diagnosis Murder staring the entire Van Dyke family.

It's quite depressing to know they're still showing the same old rubbish. They wouldn't put the same show on every night of the week, why do they do it in the day?

It's been the same crap for a few years. Todays crap in the attic clearly just want to show off their massive house. Hmm

Are they still doing that God awful 'buy some very expensive tat from an antique stall, and sell it for a loss at auction' thing? What is the point of that programme.

Honestly I used to put TV on while I was ironing/doing the washing up or whatever, now I just listen to CD's.

Yes, seriously, daytime TV is dire. I can't wait to go back to work as I feel every brain cell dying. BBC1 starts off with some heir hunter crap, "Bill Smith died on Mars in 2030 and left an estate valued around 50p. Do you know Bill Smith? Could you be a relative of Bills?" Then there's the buy a house at an auction shite, do it up and sell it on. Where's the entertainment in this? It's crapola. Then there's a location, location, location spin off, now trash in the attic is on, at least it's not that Lorraine Spicer woman, she does my head in. Ben Foggle bloke is a nightmare, if someone doesn't want to sell something he'll keep going on about it "oh, it's a shame you didn't bring your mother's kidney, you could have got so much money for it". Bloody bargain hunt is on now!

Listen to FiveLive instead - it's very informative and you can get other stuff done at the same time...

PortBlacksand · 02/09/2010 13:13

Agree - hate the graspy heir hunters one....

There are daytime programmes?

Apart from the news and Pebble Mill at One of course.

I thought that was only in the school holidays. Y'know, Robinson Crusoe, White Horses, Flashing Blade...

Yep. All that dubbed foreign stuff... Yes. They should definitely get something else.

Belle and Sebastien perhaps?

TheCrackFox · 02/09/2010 18:56

How Lorne Spicer is still on TV is a mystery.

I like Heir Hunters and Homes Under the Hammer but the rest is complete shite.

retiredgoth2 · 02/09/2010 18:57

Wasn't Lorne Spicer in Bonanza?

Theochris · 02/09/2010 19:52

retiredgoth :)

Well I expect Heidi, and Silas are on somewhere :)

I can't see the point in homes under the hammer, it's the ultimate in crapola. As for heir hunters, oh please!

"One of Southern's most famous television programmes was Houseparty, an afternoon show aimed primarily at women that was shown locally to begin with then part-networked (one programme a week). It featured the sort of items expected to be found within the covers of a "magazine for women", such as cooking, knitting, crafts, and general gossip. The studio was arranged so as to resemble a living room and the regular 'guests' rang a 'doorbell' when they arrived after the programme had started, often bringing items of interest with them. It may have been a rather 'phoney' idea but the show was popular; it only ended when Southern stopped broadcasting, though Meridian revived the show for a brief time with the daughters of some of the original cast, in 1993"

It's like 1970s Mumsnet! Grin
