99. Reporting Scotland
A box-ticking news agenda which desperately tries (but fails) to adequately cover such a massive 'region'. On paper it ensures stories are covered from the whole of the country, in reality it results in tedious stories about car parking in the borders being given higher priority than High Court cases in Glasgow simply because of their location. And it's mind-numbingly tedious too - there's something to be said for not dumbing down, but virtually the whole final 15 minutes is devoted to tedious "and finallys" about species of birds in the Outer Hebridies, Scottish Opera and some crap story they copied out of the Sunday Post (tedious old granny paper). Horrible, horrible, horrible, and outdone by Scotland Today despite SMG's 50p budget.

96. Look North
North East and Cumbria
A tedious programme with a presenter who looks and speaks like a nursery school teacher, filled with reports only from places which aren't in Tyne and Wear or any other place of importance. Relies heavily on feature reports from Northumberland and North Yorkshire and has a set which literally looks stale.

93. Eastenders - the acting is dire and lack of decent scriptwriting has caused the decline in the once Britain's Favourite Soap.

91. Saints and Scholars.
A BBC NI 'comedy' panel game. Bizaarely awful - if there is ever an update of the theme night 'TV Hell', this should be in it. How it ever returned for a second series, I'll never know.
Gone but impossible to forget.
Another BBC NI 'comedy' entry to follow later in the Top 50. And don't worry - I haven't forgotten about UTV crimes against talent.
