My interpretation of the TV Guide is not one that suits all, but the niggles and annoyances contained in the week's viewing schedule are fucking numerous. Perhaps one of the most noticeable cunting one is the misplaced belief that the words 'Great' and 'Greatest' enhance in any fucking way the content of programmes. I offer the following as an aside to my normal overview of the week.
The Greatest Dancer
BBC1 has been running this for a while, and there are so many entrants who are simply a long way short of great. As with all these shows, I am baffled by contestants who appear together, making the name of the show a farce. This is particularly true of The Voice, because quite often I am hearing voices .... not linked to any mental condition, but duos and trios appearing on THE Voice. In the dancing arena, a double act confirms it's not about finding the 'greatest' dancer.
Great American Railroad Journeys
Michael Portillo flouncing and pissing about on trains again. The BBC2 schedules would be lost without him and his colour-coded clothing.
The Great Pottery Throw Down
I am a long way from 'fired up' about this filler of a programme. Apparently, this week, the four remaining amateur potters are "facing their biggest challenge of the competition so far as they're asked to create a fully functioning toilet". What shit.
The Great Interior Design Challenge
More twaddle on Two, as the BBC repeats a whole hour of pointlessness into our Monday evening.
Great British Railway Journeys
Straight after the interior design crap, BBC2 has lined up an extra dose of Michael Portillo, as Portillo's State Secrets eats up half an hour. Then, after he's had a break for 75 minutes, Portillo returns to the screen with his guide book and railway fodder for us to consume.
HMS Victory: Nelson's Great Warship
This gets a mention simply for the use of 'great', but in the main, I can understand this is not an example of the gratuitous use of the term, so let's leave it there.
Terry and Mason's Great Food Trip
I have nothing to say about this, other than "BBC2, get past this great cunting obsession with using the word 'great' in your naming strategy."
Celebs For Sale: The Great Charity Scandal: Dispatches
With two colons in the title, I am already fuming.
The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer
More from Sandi Tossing and Noel Fiddling in a big tent.
You get the message.
