26.12.12 Harry Potter and the Half-Baked Potato


Enough is enough!  Potter overload has reached a crescendo in the last week or two.  Worse than the inordinate amount of time devoted to this crap by ITV is the further abuse through the annoying hour-long programmes ahead of the film, to cover "the making of" or "behind the fucking scenes".  Maybe some 'fucking scenes' might improve the films (?)

On Tuesday 17th, 2 hours and 55 minutes of the schedule was obliterated by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which was ridiculous for prime time television.  This was especially annoying as the other channels had fuck all that was watchable.  ITV in its complete lack of wisdom judged that viewers might like another serving just four days later.  Last Saturday, I dodged the hour-long Behind the Magic - Order of the Phoenix at 4.05pm, and shuddered with rage at the 160-minute dollop of disorder at 6.30pm.




ITV's lack of imagination and horrendous judgement was evidenced the following fucking day!  Yes, Harry Potter and the Bloody Potato Prints, [or was it "and the Half-Baked Potato?] was swallowing another three hours at 7.30pm the very next evening!  AND, the cunts took an hour at 5.35 to give us Behind the Magic: Half Blood Prince shit.

Could things get any worse?  Yes.  Today we had an hour of Behind the Magic at 3.00pm, ahead of tonight's shite, Harry Potter and the Deadly Shallows; Part 1, Subsection (b) Paragraph Cunting Seven.  Two hours and fifty minutes lost.

Just to warn you all that the concluding part of the Deathly Sparrows is avoided by not tuning in on New Year's Day at 8.00pm, and finding something else to do for two-and-a-half hours.  Be careful, earlier on though, because ITV have lined up 50 Greatest Harry Potter Moments at 3.40pm; another two-hour session!

I trust that the CIC at ITV will now desist from airing the films, the tosh that goes with them and the 'best bits' list for at least another year.

[CIC = Cunts In Charge]
