Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I will start ball rolling the BBC is a mainly outdated and very average TV corporation hopefully in the death throws of it's present incarnation. it pays far to much money to it's overloaded hierarchy and even more to it's presenters and so called stars, leaving little money for the once wonderful programmes it used to make. instead of over hyped reality shit and piss poor slapstick attempting to masquerade as comedy, most of it's staples like Question Time and MOTD have that 'smug' loadsamoney outlook that is condescending to the viewers and on all of the terrestrial channels there is not a chat show worthy of it's name, just mainly overly camp presenters dicking about and blowing copious amounts of smoke up already heavily stroked celebrity ego's arses. The great British bake off, why does it need 4 presenters?, the 2 bakers in it are more than capable of judging and presenting that show. You just know if the BBC present a 1 hour reality type programme it is actually a half an hour programme at best that is padded out by it's opening scenes of snippets shown 3 or 4 times during the hour and in between an excursion to an attraction nearby to the filming that bears no relation to the programme content itself.

Red-Robbo Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't disagree with most of your OP, Esmond. It just amuses me when RG says things like: "this has not been covered by the mainstream elitist BBC propaganda news" to point out that yes it has, often on the same day he posts it!. You couldn't make it up, as Richard Littledick would say!! Anyway, the real shocker is why the hell are you watching The Great British Bake-off. That stuff will rot your brain.

Over to you RG. To be fair, I do like watching Question Time with the BBC's David Dimblebollux. As for Match of the Day, Jose Mourinho said - after the Chelsea v Liverpool game - that the programme is loaded with Scousers and that he hopes to be a BBC pundit when he's 75 so as to give positive comments about Chelsea. Same for Question Time - BBC Question Time needs a top personality to give the EU loving traitors - that the BBC favour - a few home truths about the corrupt and despotic nature of the EU.

Court case finishes 4pm. 8pm, you get a live from in front of an empty municipal building. Why? Or, loads of local reporters in their North Face coats, waterproof kecks and wellies standing in flooded carparks to illustrate bad weather. Why? All of these pointless lives require OB vehicles trundling hither and thither and satellite booking - a major expense. They all. do it though. Maybe the BBC is the worst culprit, but I really can't see what the fascination is with these dull TV cliches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the BBC is the worst culprit, but I really can't see what the fascination is with these dull TV cliches. It's a populist news channel, so it will report on 'populist' things: court cases that anger Joe Bloggs, the illness of a minor royal, the birth of a footballers baby. These things are reported in a simple, demonstrative way because they are simple, demonstrative subjects. They give the impression of something urgent and constantly evolving when we all know they are anything but. If you analyse or even momentarily consider what they're doing its ridiculous, but its aimed at people who want their news spoon-fed to them rather than people who seek it out The other thing about outside broadcast is that in many scenarios the BBC are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If poor old Betty is up to her knees in water with the sideboard floating out the door and the reporter is sat in a warm studio 200 miles away, they're accused of lacking any connection with 'the public'. If the reporter is screaming "IT'S WINDY!!!" into a microphone as the Atlantic Ocean breaches the sea defences behind them it's pointless and costly.

Were I the director I'd OOV it: get an out-of-video voiceover done on the previously shot, hopefully more interesting, footage from the day. Bread-and-butter to C4 News.
