Sometimes it would be nice to have just a straight presentation - one talking
head on camera. No distractions, buzzers and bells (presents by sense of smell :-)
in the style of (I think) AJP Taylor's history monologs from long, long ago.

You just reminded me of the style of old gardening programmes, up to
Geoff Hamilton, vs. one particularly crap series which *was* more or
less one talking head on camera. Unfortunately we wanted to see the
GARDEN, not the presenter

And the news, channels, why can't they just have the pictures on the
screen? nowadays the screen seems to be covered in crap obscuring the
video clips, banner statements, icons, scrolling tickers, the BBC News
channel is bad and Sky News is appalling for this, I find it all but
unwatchable.
