After my complaints of yesterday (see Telly Vision), this morning’s offerings from the great and mighty BBC Breakfast, a “news” programme were the following:
1. Picture of “reporter” still living it up in Playa de Luz, Portugal, outside police station yet again telling us there was nothing to tell us.
2. Interview with McCanns’ new publicist on sofa in soft pink shirt, saying there was nothing he could say, but that they didn’t do it. Every question raised was answered with “that’s evidential and I can make no comment on that, but I can say…” So no news there then.
3. Cut to weather girl in mac in Blue Peter Garden – oh, pleeeeease.
4. Shot of “reporter” on street opposite the gates of Chelsea FC to “report” on the sacking/parting by mutual consent of Jose Marinho and the Blues, telling us again that he could tell us nothing. Fascinating shots of buses etc passing behind him.
5. Shot of policital reporter in window bay of Brighton hotel making much of the non-news created by media that the LibDems want to get rid of “Ming”. Again, most fascinating joggers, cars, buses passing behind in front of the grey grey sea. We got no farther forward there, then.
6. Discussion of a paper on airline poisonous air in cockpits and cabins, two guests, one saying yes it was poisonous and had ruined her health, the other saying only very very few pilots and staff were affected. The problem with this was the paper was not to be published until 11am – and this was between 7 and 9, so again a non-story, as they were commenting on what might or might not be contained in the said paper.
7. Winsome story about fly fishing for women post breast cancer ops, very pretty story. Don’t know how much farther it took us on our life journey.
Gawd save us! what a waste of licencepayers’ money

I rarely watch morning television, but this morning I managed to. BBC News as AngryOldWoman points out was pretty pointless, but there was an interesting ‘expert’ on talking about bedbugs. Turning over to ITV actually showed that it could be worse. The Weather girl was ‘on location’ in Glasgow looking at the QE2 sailing down the Clyde.
Huh? Since when were Weather presenters experts on shipping? Mind you, she didn’t strike me as being an expert on meteorology either. Nice lines though (on the QE2)…
Forgot to mention the bedbug tsar. Sorry, but this made me feel itchy and I refer you to your own polemic on Mosquitos, what good are they? Same same bedbugs..
Only reason for them is to say to little children,
Night night, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite…
We are Vidiots!
Why on earth watch TV that early in the morning? I don’t know why, I do it too. Where I live we have ten local channels. Four have morning programmes. Nearby there is another city that has seven channels. Three have morning programmes. There is a third city nearby that has two channels, two have morning programmes.
Of those nine stations, there is nothing to watch; why do I and others mindlessly revolve through the channels? We are all VIDIOTS.
Glad I do not have cable TV where an additional 50 channels still have nothing to watch.
Off air, in Toronto, Ontario, we get: 3,5,9,19,25,41,47,52,57,69.
From Buffalo, NY, we get:
2,4,7,17,23,29,49,
From Hamilton, Ontario, we get:
11,36,
From Barrie, Ontario, we get:
3,
From Oshawa, Ontario, we get:

Wait till the evening – still nothing.
