The most dire programme on British TV
 
I have always said that Spanish TV is bad, but some of the programmes on British TV are pretty grim too.

I have just seen "take me out" on ITV.

Corny and cringeworthy rubbish, but is it the worst on the box?

What's unusual about that? Reading a few "brits in Spain" forums, they are full of threads on UK TV, they seemingly can't get enough. Mini Joddrel Banks scattered all over their properties so they can get their daily dose of Corrie and East Enders, Big Brother etc! Forums are full of stuff on sky cards, how to get iplayer etc. They watch ten times more UK TV than I do!:)
Oh! No, never seen your ITV programme, but it should come as no surprise, the stuff they push out.

The question was as though it is not right to watch TV in Spain or something, what his reasoning behind that question is a mystery to me.
:confused:

You see, this is my point, you read my post as... "... and watching TV?".... when I actually typed... "... and watching ITV"


Funny how we read things as we want to read them, you know, just so we can have a pop at people....

I don`t know any Spaniards that watch UK TV, but after watching Spanish TV I can see how they could easily be converted. :rofl:
