Agreed. Flame wars not needed.

You seem to enjoy starting them though...

Patrick Moore blames women for falling BBC standards

I think Sir Patrick is having a laugh, not unusual in someone with
the
keen
sense of humour he frequently displays. The Sky At Night was
produced by
women for many years, at least one of whom is said[*] to be held
in high
esteem by him.

It's not women producers that Sir Patrick is complaining about.
Doctor Who
was originally produced by a woman as well. It's women executives who
are
running the BBC who only think about making programmes for women.
Where has
the balance gone? Almost everything on the BBC apart from Top Gear is
directed at women. There is hardly anything for men on TV anymore.
Half the
countries population and the BBC licence fee payers are being
alienated or
excluded from TV.


You're right. All that ****ing endless football and snooker. The women
just can't get enough.


All I have to say is Gabby Logan and Hazel Irvine. Even the football
and snooker have been dumbed down in order to appeal primarily to
women.

Sports fans are not exclusively male. Soap fans are not exclusively
female.

I don't know much about Gabby Logan and Hazel Irvine. But I can
guarantee that Beckham could teach them a thing or 2 if they really want
to learn about how to dumb down a sports commentary...

Since you don't know who Gabby Logan and Hazel Irvine are I must assume
that you are completely gay and don't watch any sport on the BBC or ITV
along with every other man who does not know who these woman are.

I knew the people who keep on defending RTD's gay agenda were gay
themselves and this proves it.
Stephen has professed to be "gay" before on this newsgroup. It's no
biggie.

Ah, well that explains why I sensed his behaviour was unnatural then. It was
begining to bug me. My Gaydar seems to be callibrated correctly. I no longer
need to out him.

So he's gay. So what? Being gay is no longer a crime. I still don't agree
with RTD's gay agenda and think it's damaging Doctor Who but i don't agree
that all homosexual's should be to blame for this.

Gayvies should keep his views on sex to himself and keep them out of Doctor
Who. By using a show watched by children to promote a gay agenda he is
giving ordinary gays who I have no problem with a bad name.

Interesting premise...RTD is actually giving the rest of the gay community a
bad press. That explains why the local gay in my village was recently beaten
up by people with large sticks shouting "That's for introducing Captain
Jack!"

It also reminds me of the guy who blamed the Jewish community for the
sinking of the Titanic...when pointed it was pointed out to him that it was
actually a collision with an Iceberg he proclaimed...

"Iceberg....Goldberg...all the same to me!"

Thanks for this cogent response. Its too easy to get taken in by the
spin, and miss the man's sense of humor. That said its one of those
correlation most people are prone to make. An increase in women
bosses,
the rise of reality tv, there must be a connection - right?

The classic one being that during the 150s there was almost straight
line
correlation between the rise in ownership of 'fridges and the rise in
the
crime rate. It follows that 'fridge ownership was responsible for the
crime rate.

Idiot. It means that thieves wanted to steal fridges, like in the 80's
they
wanted to steal video recorders and in the 90's/00's flat screen TVs.

LOL! Do you EVER think before you post your drivel?

"Stop thief! Oh, it's alright. He can't run away on account of the
****ing fridge he's lifted!"

Imbecile. Even in the 50's thieves had vans and formed gangs. Ever hear of
the Crays ?

No. Any relation to the Krays?

No, Aggy's thinking of the Cray Brothers, the East-End supercomputer
gangsters.

"Yus, you're right Reggie. If I don't get somefing to cool down my

"No problem Ronnie, I'll 'ave the lads knock off a few fridges."

Loooooooooool

I must have missed that post. I guess that partially explains why RTD
seems to do no wrong in his eyes.

Almost everything on the BBC apart from Top Gear is directed at women.

Well I`m a bloke and quite frankly there`s no programme on earth that bores
me quite as silly as Top Gear does. I agree that there`s little on the telly
that interests me but this isn`t a recent thing. The vast bulk of broadcast
TV has always been crap.

I was quite surprised by the amount of sheep-shagging shown on Gordon

I'm hoping that that was sheep-shagging as carried out by other sheep, not

Good point.

Let's do a test. Last night's TV, from 6pm to midnight.


BBC1

6.00 News

Directed at men, women, and everyone else.

6.30 Regional News

Directed at men, women, and everyone else.

7.00 Castaway

Possibly directed at women, but AIUI it's a bit of a flop and not
pleasing anyone male, female, or other, so it doesn't really matter who
it's aimed at.

7.30 EastEnders

Yes. Finally something that is mainly targeted at women.

8.00 Holby Blue

Cop show. Directed at men, women, and everyone else.

9.00 CCTV You Are Being Watched

Topical documentary. For men, women, and everyone else.

10.00 News

Aimed at men, women, and everyone else.

10.35 Imagine...

Arts documentary. For men, women, and everyone else.

11.35 Film: Unfaithful

Thriller. Not familiar with it, but it stars Richard Gere so it might
be aimed at women.

That's lots of news, plus Holby Blue and two documentaries that are
definitely not aimed at just women. So, a very slight tendency towards
programmes aimed at women last night. But now look at tonight...


BBC1

6.00 News

Directed at men, women, and everyone else.

6.30 Regional News

Directed at men, women, and everyone else.

7.00 Demolition!

Documentary. Not seen it, but it sounds like it's directed at men

7.30 The Green Green Grass.

Sitcom. Directed at men, women, and everyone else.

8.00 Watchdog

Directed at men, women, and everyone else.

8.30 Car Wars

Documentary. Not seen it, but it sounds like it's targeted at men.

9.00 The Apprentice

Directed at men, women, and everyone else.

10.00 News

Directed at men, women, and everyone else.

10.35 Lottery Draws

Directed at men, women, and everyone else.

10.40 One Foot in the Grave

Repeat. Directed at men, women, and everyone else.

11.10 Match of the Day

Still directed mostly at men.

11.55 Film: Disturbing Behavior

I assumed last night's thriller was aimed at women, so to play fair I'll
give this one the benefit of the doubt and assume it's amied at men.


There you have it. Last night's slight bias towards women is balanced
by a bias towards men tonight. It all evens out in the long run. (But
there's still nothing aimed specifically at androgynes! It's not fair!
My licence fee money is as good as anyone else's...)
