11.11.19 The Mountain - ITV

This fucking programme gets off to such a shit start.  First, we are subjected to Joanna Lumley's breathy introduction about the programme being sponsored by some company or other, ahead of the voice-over bloke waffling. Then we have to endure prissiness that's a challenge and a half.

His scene-setting line is delivered in such a pompous way, and he uses a plural that is out-cunting-rageous.  Matthew Gravelle narrates, and comes out with the statement:

I've seen mountains in the Himalaya that look less dramatic.

Well, Mr Gravelle, Snowdon may be deserving of a compliment or two, but NOT if you're going to be pretentious.  The plural of Himalaya is only Himalaya if you are pompous and being a twat.

This follows hot on the heels of Sir David Attenborough who yesterday fucked me off with "Puma" as the plural of "Puma".  Yes, he's a national treasure, blah blah blah, but really!  "The puma are ...." is a disgrace.
