[desprateseagull]

all I seem to see in xfactor/i'm a celeb spinoffs- the worst losers, wanabbes. cominghome, behind the scenes, long lost cousin etc..

[The Large One]

ITV has been a tragic TV station for a LONG time.

 

[ali jenkins]

It's got CORONATION STREET though

But for how long?

 

[ali jenkins]

Dunno, if you beleive what you read in the papers then there is some big money contracts at ITV.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Don't forget the likes of

A Celebrity Audience with [Cilla/Tarby/Ant & Dec/Bernard Manning]

etc

They deserve to go under, just for that kind of crap!

1990 broadcasting act killed it.

Thatcher's OTT reaction to death on the rock.

Thames=quality broadcaster

Carlton=Crap.

Hell, even TVS was better than Meridian

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Itv is really quite bad, however it would look like the King or tv stations against some of the stuff here,

 

[Gwylan]

Apart from Corrie, I can't think of a single programme that I regularly watch on ITV. It's meant to be one of the major terrestial channels and puts out nothing but crud.

It's a poisoned chalice that Grade's got.

Thank f*** for UKGold.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

ITV is utter shit.

They cant do drama

They cant do comedy

They cant do gameshows

They can do Corrie and shit reality bollocks and thats about it.

Very true - people who have only known ITV since then must be amazed when they realise that the same piss-awful, unwatchable channel we have now produced such brilliant programmes as Minder, or Brideshead Revisited, or, best of all, The World At War, and not THAT long ago either.

Tis true. Minder was QUALITY viewing.

So was Only When I Laugh.

 

[Man of Harveys]

So was Tales Of The Unexpected.

The Professionals was pretty good too, at least it had a couple of decent actors in it, and Bodie...mind you, that was a fair few years back.
