    10,000 people have been on show, there are probably millions that watch it, but a handful of people don't agree with its morality so it needs to be stopped?
    AFAIK it was ITV who cancelled the JK show, not a group of anti-free speech intellectuals.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    It is my money. Commercial channels are funded by advertisements, the cost of which are passed on to the buyers of the products advertised. Even if you don't own or watch television, you end up paying for it (at least in part).

    Yes and that is the really worrying aspect of it.

    What was that quote..."Nobody ever lost money by underestimating the taste of....."

    the problem with my position is that Im just going to be considered a snob for telling them what to do. Most JK or gogglebox fans would just tell me to F off.

    Im serious that we have bred a significant base level of morons. In truth it was always that way though.

    Surely the aim should be to raise standards. Im not against light entertainment. All I am saying is that you dont make programmes which exploit people in a patronising, cruel and cynical way.

    Yes, I fully agree, although I think that the base level of morons being bred now, due to the influence of social media and technology in general, is more moronic than ever!

    Well we all need a hobby...I need something to fill the gap between 'Breakfast' and 'The One Show', now that Jeremy Kyle's show has done one.
