Shownotes Transcript
On the showbiz front there is a film out about The Beatles. I think it's called "Get Back" and shows unseen footage of them in the recording studio.....I don't know what channel it is on and quite frankly I don't want to know....WE"VE SEEN IT ALL......apparently the film has received mixed reviews.....John and Paul chatting to each other.doesn't seem to be of much interest to some.
The recent heavy storms...apart from destroying my back gate....have created a historic moment in television history.....because of the imminent danger an episode of "I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here" had to be recorded.....and wasn't LIVE... for the first time ever....now correct me if I'm wrong but the programme takes place inside a Welsh castle....which was built back in history to survive attacks by multitudes of armies....what I can't understand is what dangers a selection of gusty winds presents?.....out of interest I watched the recorded episode.....this programme has to be at the very very bottom of the entertainment barrel......it is totally pointless....we have a selection of famous celebrities such as Swoochy Shy and Naughty Boy (WHO?) all sitting in a circle around a campfire talking crap and waiting for one of the contestants to return from laying among a selection of rats and creepy crawlies whilst trying to find hidden stars.....which lead to meals for the campmates....it is like watching paint dry.....made even worse, if that is possible, by the occasional appearance of the multi talentless Ant and Dec....who come on...fluff their lines...and vanish..........I kept watching it because I thought it can only get better....WRONG!!......that is one hour and a half I will never get back.
At least Channel 5 have something worth watching.....it is a weekly look at the best top selling records of the 70's........each week they cover a different year and it is really interesting as they give us the inside stories behind the records....the programme is brilliantly produced and is compulsive viewing as opposed to a bunch of nobodies sitting around a drafty castle.....and it is interesting seeing those stars of the past as they look now........it shows that decent interesting programmes can actually be made instead of throwing cookery programmes and soaps at us.....the BBC are probably the worst....probably because of the arrogant overpaid higher archy who refuse to see further than the end of their noses.
This week's "one of the worst records ever made" spot defies description......it is performed by Bernard Bresslaw who should not have been allowed within 10 miles of a recording studio.....there is absolutely nothing positive I can say about this record it is so bad....yet I would rather listen to this than watch I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here........it is called Mad Passionate Love by Bernard Bresslaw.
