Let's overlook the fact that "All New" now precedes the name of the original programme. It's now sadly the case that there are so many repeats, programmes now have to be labelled this way to distinguish them from the regurgitated tosh that fills the schedules. You've Been Framed if the other very well known example of this phenomenon. I'm surprised, actually, that politics has not yet embraced this crap, with New Labour becoming All New Labour.
Anyway, as with YBF some years back, surely the time has come to dispense with the frustratingly annoying Richard Hammond, who offers absolutely nothing by way of entertainment or contribution to the show. Some cunt at the BBC has decided that we ought to like him, and that he's worthy of ungainful employment as an irritant in a studio, while people have a go at an obstacle course in South America. If ITV recognised that Lisa Riley (who took over from Beadle) was superfluous, surely the same approach can apply for Wipeout?
Total Wipeout (which by default actually means a repeat) and All New Total Wipeout contribute little to life, though very marginally more than RH. I would even go as far as to say that Mr Bargain Hunt himself, David Dickinson, has a few grammes of worth more than RH.
