The rank hypocrisy of the BBC

XboxBloke1976 · ‎03-10-2025

20 years ago in 2005, the BBC cancelled Australian soap, Neighbours because they said it was too expensive, a week later they replaced it with some naff other Aussie soap that lasted about 3 weeks if that.

And they keep throwing money at stuff like Eastenders when it's arguably THE most depressing soap on TV and has been for most of the last 40 years IMHO.

Plus they pay stupid money to show stuff like Strictly Can't Dance every year, OK it gets decent viewing figures but that's only because people are too skint to do what they used to and go out on Saturday evenings.

Thoughts?

Well, I love Strictly. Nice viewing for Autumn and Winter.

Anyway @XboxBloke1976, Stefan Dennis (Paul Robinson from Neighbours) is in this years SCD.

Apparently, his wife is a professional dancer. Sadly on Stefan's showing last week, he'll be voted out soon. 😉
