Yep, different strokes for different folks. Personally, I'm appalled that the horror genre even exists. But, it's nice that the BBC can cater to more than just the upper crusty, high tea at Throckmockingtonshire Castle crowd. As I learned 28 years ago from listening to the British Forces radio station in Bielefeld Germany, Brits are fully capable of being as low-brow and unsophisticated as any American.

It was completely understandable that they shitcanned Jeremy Clarkson, but the magic that was Top Gear will now all end up in some new show on another network. It's estimated that Top Gear used to earn the BBC 42 million pounds per year, and from the sound of things, the new Top Gear with new hosts is not likely to be as successful. It has always amazed me when people say they like Top Gear, I think it's appalling! But it's the BBC's most lucrative show, each to their own I guess. What I do like about it is the way it supports the sort of things I do like, all those minority interest documentaries and new comedy shows. Be a shame to lose any of that but they will scrap the whole organisation sooner or later, it's all part of the plan to destroy everything we care about in society. Why they want to do that is beyond me... ---In [email protected], <noozguru@...> wrote : BBC is cutting more than 1,000 jobs.
