Over the years I have been an ITV viewer less and less. In recent days they have axed the programmes that are worth watching. The final two nails in their coffin are "Kingdom" and "The Bill".
Stephen Fry as Peter Kingdom brought the most wonderful "feel good" feeling to viewers and his young assistant provided the freshest comedy I have seen in a long time. Hermione Norris acted out the most amazing comedy depressant whilst Tony Slattery made the brain spin with his multitude of legal challenges that actually won through. Celia Imrie was just lovely as she and her son filled equally interesting and entertaining roles. CHOP!!!
Today came the final insult to intelligent viewers. The Bill is to go in the autumn. This is a programme that has provided an amazing variety of scenarios over a long period. We have grown to almost become family to both characters and actors involved in this first rate programme. We have lived and died with its many twists and turns. ITV has now succumbed to the appetite of the brain dead with programme after programme of reality disinterest. I simply ask the world of TV to seriously considering buying the programme "The Bill" and running with it for many years more. It will be watched! As for the rest of the soaps and reality dung let the brain dead watch ITV. Not me!!!
