Apart from a very small number of programmes, UK TV, IMHO has reached an all time low. Like others my viewing time consists mainly watching my own collection of Dvd's and tapes.

Not like you to be funny, Steve.
Seriously though, you've been in good form just recently, and once or twice you've almost brought a smile to my stern countenance.
Bumming a fag very nearly made me chortle.
Have you unearthed a copy of the Viz Bumper Fun Book or something?

It's all coming back!!
It was a DJ announcing over Victor Sylvester's signature tune, You're Dancing on My Heart, (vile noise), and the dedication was "also for Fred Cock-in-Locker of British West Hartlepool".

Phew!
