This was okay in the early days when it was modest, small scale and spontaneous. It was set in the Wogan studio, and regulars were Roy Kinear and Patrick Moor. Other celebs would "pop in" as they were able. On one occasion someone phoned in to offer money if Patrick Moore did press-ups. Nothing like the contrived, glitzy extravaganza of today.
I don't watch it these days. I think it was the TV Chefs doing the Full Monty which was the final straw. |

As my esteemed elder brother, hereinafter referred to as 'Mycroft', put it about Live8

BBC has a new "reality" show - Celebrity Sissorhands ! Celebs either cut other people's hair or get their own cut? Can the powers that be not think of anything better than this? Even the couch potatoes will switch-off !
It sounds like something Chris Morris would dream up as a joke.
But it isn't a joke and little piece of me has just died. |

I tend to watch ITV3 most of the time, or BBC4.
I loathe designer/media charity.
I reckon Geldof and his phoney Live Aid projects started this awful, hollow, empty and hypocritical trend.
Give the punters a way not to care but to salve consciences with 50p. |

I`m with you on that Steve, I have allways given generously to charities, but I get very irrated by the last minute phone calls to work for nothing on Children in Need night, however I have found it preferable to go out than to be force fed TV of irritating quality.
I will donate as allways, but it drives me as mad as XFactor does to watch this bufoonery. |
