The Sneckie OAP's despair of the quality of T.V. much less the quantity

Bunty and I are in despair of the quality of television; having just watched "Celebrity Gogglebox" it appears that the standard of output from the host of channels now available, notwithstanding the sheer volume of tripe it seems that there are programmes in which people are coerced into ridiculing themselves for a Nano-second of fame, and seeing the father of potential Prime Minister Boris (????) Johnson snuggled up to someone young enough to be his grand-daughter is truly vomit inducing!  Now there's a family I'd cheerfully isolate on an uninhabited island were it not for the fact that Doris Johnson is potentially the key to Independence

Are Bunty and I the only ones not to have seen Love Island?

On the other hand, we watched a film on the Beeb iPlayer which was innocent in content and a comedy delight in taking us back to our youth when double entendres were as smutty as it got.




I'm pretty certain there are none of the cast left alive, but the type-cast cad Terry Thomas with a whole host of stars of the fifties, such as Ian Carmichael, Alistair Sim and Hattie Jaques with her then husband John Le Mesurier (Sergeant Wilson of "Dads Army") is an absolute delight in innocence humour.

Catch it before it goes off to the cellars of BBC House.
