10.3.12 Walliams Overload

Sorry, but before Britain's Got Talent has even started, I'm sick to death of the over-exposure of David Walliams.  Yes, we all know you did some swimming.  It was all very commendable, and I applauded you (not literally) in the beginning.  But after numerous articles in the press, the OTT award at the BAFTAs (???) and the numerous TV references/clips, we have the documentary this week.  Then there have been the never-ending chat show references. 

Unfortunately you are in my opinion not very funny unless you're doing something with Matt.  On your own, you seem to rely massively on sexual innuendos, camp behaviour, and attempts at outrageousness to get attention.  For some reason it seems that people feel laughter and applause to be compulsory, and reactions of audiences on TV shows are not actually indicative of the wider views and impressions - I suggest.

To top it all, I see in today's paper that you're to play Michael Barrymore in a four-part TV drama based on his life.  So, yet more appallingly fucking awful taste!  Barrymore?  This is sludge from the canal being dredged up and presented as entertainment.  I have no wish to see a weirdo playing a weirdo, no doubt majoring on sexual confusion [no acting there, then].  The country does not need this sort of shit.  Nor should anyone be bolstering Barrymore's profile - or bank account via royalties!  You have gone from one extreme to another; raising money from a swim, to playing someone of completely dubious attributes who still refuses to answer serious questions about his part in the death of S.L. at his home.  On this journey, you have demeaned yourself as well.

I suspect I'll for the first time be trying to avoid BGT.

  1. Barrymore series is not gonna happen. It was a fake article, no-one at Sky knows about it. He had to promote the Swim again this month becaus Sport Relief is starting and the documentary would be broadcast.
