Can't doubt the sentiment but as the whole Paul O'Grady show reminds me of seaside promenade, bottom rate variety shíts and giggles it gets nothing.
A parody has been done, just not on such a lowly show. Next up, mocks on Quizmania and Harry ****in' Hill?

Q.
How stupid will I feel when the ratings reveal that more people watched ITV than C4?
A.
Still not quite as stupid as the people who tuned into the repeat
The New Paul O'Grady Show
I'm a bit stunned that ITV would take such a decision... surely if you were going to watch Paul O'Grady you'd watch the new one, not the repeat.Q.

The teatime shame of ITV
So who at ITV made the decision to carry on showing repeats of Paul O'Grady while Channel Four broadcast the shiny, all singing, all dancing, topical live show at the same time.There should be an investigation...

I find the current ITV productions endcap a bit dull, so have had a go at making a more dramatic number.http://www.rp-networkservices.com/tvforum/uploads/itv_productions_endcap.swf

BBC to bring Nationwide back with news from the regions
By Tom Leonard

Cue the alcoholic snails and the paraplegic darts team but not, sadly, the skateboarding duck. The long-running current affairs magazine programme Nationwide is finally making a comeback in an attempt to bolster BBC1's early evening schedule.
Twenty-three years after it ended, Peter Fincham, the controller of BBC1, is to resurrect the Nationwide format with a four-week pilot in August which - if successful - will become a permanent weekday fixture.
It will air between 6.30pm and 7.30pm five days a week, said a BBC spokesman.
Although the new programme has yet to be given a name, it will resemble Nationwide in its mix of local and national news, anchored by a still to be chosen "Natasha Kaplinsky-style" presenter.
As part of the BBC's drive to move some of its operations out of London, the programme will be made in either Manchester, Birmingham or Bristol.
"It's something Peter has been talking about for some time and now he has commissioned it for a trial period," the spokesman said.
"The news will definitely have a regional bias but how much of a mix there will be with national news has still to be sorted out."
However, he was able to make two clear content commitments. "No, there will not be a skateboarding duck. And Frank Bough will not be involved - I can confirm that."
Nationwide, which started at 6pm, ran from 1969 until 1983. At its peak, it drew audiences of up to 19 million. Its clunky sets and cheesy news agenda provided a creaky springboard for presenters such as Michael Barratt, Frank Bough, Valerie Singleton and Sue Lawley.
Despite its association with the performing animal school of journalism, Nationwide had its serious moments.
Margaret Thatcher was famously lulled into a false sense of security on a live phone-in on the programme in 1983 when a caller from Cheltenham, Diana Gould, took her to task over the Falklands war.
Repeated demands by Ms Gould for Mrs Thatcher to say whether the Argentine warship, the Belgrano, had been sailing away from the war zone left the prime minister looking "rattled".
Although conceived as a way of showing off the BBC's regional production and engineering strength by featuring reports from all over Britain, sound and pictures were frequently lost.
Technical problems reached a comic peak when the studio lights went out, leaving Sue Lawley in darkness.
After one particularly bad technical night, Barratt memorably confessed to camera: "You think I'm in complete control of this crisis, don't you? Well, I'm not. We've nothing left and there's two minutes to go. What would you do given two minutes of peak hour television time?"
