Really don't know why the BBC bother with Terry Alderton, he's been awful in everything he's done. First that Lottery thing with Lulu, now this.

I bought a Nokia 3310 yesterday - its good, but I'm not living my life by it (like the TV Home Forum!). The ringtones are annoying!

ok so the 'joy of text' night wasnt to many peoples amusement. what would be your ideal theme night. base this on a saturday night, it can be any terrestrial channel (1,2,3,4,5) remember watershed is 21.00 and unrestricted is from 22.00.

Hurray !!!! The Joy of Text was a dismal flop, and a big ratings disaster. Fewer than 3m viewers tuned in. Future Theme Nights on BBC1 are now in doubt. A Sunday Mirror TV critic said of the show 'A lot of people pick a lot of noses in Britain every day but there's never been a gala evening of bogeys on BBC1 has there?'. Ha ha.
