There was quite an amusing cock-up tonight.

About 15 mins into New Tricks, we were suddenly presented with the first
ten seconds or so of the opening titles from Eastenders.

I watched new tricks "live" and did not see this problem. (BBC
Midlands).

And I wouldn't have described this cock-up amusing either.
But I'm sure I recall the opening titles of Eastenders being injected
into a programme a few months back.

Exactly what I got inserted into my recording of New Tricks. The opening
Map shots of Eastenders with music but without captions...

It's not the only recent stupidity: a friend was trying to watch 'Only

squashed almost square picture with black bars each side - the '4x3 in
16x9' version which would be on the hi-def channel if applicable (not
sure which channel this was on). This apparently went on for the entire
transmission.

A similar thing happened this afternoon - got a postage stamp with black
borders all round. It switched half way through.

Doesn't anybody monitor _anything_ these days?

Are you deranged? Of course they don't.

It's likely it was only on BBC1 HD.

I frequently find incompetence amusing.

In fact I'm currently enjoying the funniest Govt we've had in a long
time.

I don't think there is anything funny about them. It's just like
always: For a short time you are relieved that the old government you
hate is gone. Then you quickly find out the new one is just as bad or
even worse.

The funniest since 1931 or 1915?

And just how important to government in the 21st century is the politically
appointed position of Captain of Yeomen of the Guards presently held by
David Trevor Shutt?

a look at Wiki will show you that the post holder is also Deputy Chief Whip
in the House of Lords. Probably of moderate importance.

I can understand the position of Deputy Chief Whip being important to the
government but not that of Captain of Yeomen of the Guards.

I suspect it's so that the DCW gets paid.

I don't know how funny they were, or could have been, considering.

I'm expecting that in years to come, this current period will be known
as "The Bunter Years".

Which if so, I would hope you would agree, is totally ridiculous
and is yet another example of why the Westminster parliamentary
system is in such need of administrative overhaul to remove the
farcial system which has been bodged together over the years in
a completely undemocratic manner.

Indeed so; restore the hereditary peerage to its proper seats in the House
of Lords.
