Television today

Radio 4 went to Blackpool and Morecambe this week and as part of the programme they did they talked to someone whose name I missed but he said something profound and maddeningly true.

In the old days, talented people used to appear on television so that ordinary people could be entertained and informed in their homes.

Today the ordinary people are on the television while the talented people are at home.


That sums up the modern obsession with this ridiculous celebrity TV nonsense I am constantly avoiding now.
