    The English language is really stupidly complex sometimes:

    I was thinking the BBC is really scraping the barrel if it is going to do a competition about the UK's best sewerage systems.

     

    But apparently, it's about needle and thread.

      I still wonder if they might actually be aware of the "quality" of some of their programme choices.

       

      After all if, instead of offering us watchable programmes, they insist on plugging a load of ‽*##*¢¥$ - sorry, effluent - about sewers, this probably tells us all we need to know about how much notice they take of what the people who pay their wages really want to watch.

       

      Just an observation, you understand ... .

      Being a Netflix watcher I hardly view any of the terrestrial channels anymore and when I do take it look it's still mainly some form of convoluted reality/fly on the wall programme.

       

      The only stuff I watch is the BBC news sometimes and I record the F1 highlights to watch at my leisure.

      Well I'm currently watching the BBC - specifically BBC4 and the snooker.

       

      Yes - they occasionally manage to show us some quality programmes.

       

      Snooker usually hits the target for me - especially during prolonged "safety exchanges" - points during a break when everything "goes awkward" - and occasions when a player manages to get some "pot" that nobody thought possible.

       

      Another thing I like is the way in which players readily admit could etc - even when referees haven't noticed and it really goes against them. The general expectation is that players conduct themselves in a civilized, "gentlemanly" manner - and very few of these guys disappoint.
