Saying it a third time is completely superfluous. You're not talking to children.

Now for heaven's sake - if you can't take negative feedback on your idea then you might consider keeping a diary instead.

Which, in essence, is how you tend to write.

Fair enough, so what's your verdict on everything else I suggested for RND 2009 other than my three Boogie Beebies specials, e.g. more music than they had, stand-up comics, etc?


Well I'll be honest I couldn't get through it, so I have little to add.

You do rather make a rod for your own back. There may be some salient idea or opinion in there, but its drowning in unnecessary waffle.

To try and give you a helpful example - when someone mentioned Colour of Money, you went on to explain to us what you'd learned from a Wiki search - well, no one asked for the potted history.

It would be quite enough for you to make the point that Chris Tarrant shows are, you think, usually successful - someone will counter that they're not, and so on. When you post its like reading a Ladybird Retrospecticus of the Bleeding Obvious, so I tend not to bother.

Do you know what I mean?

Could you perhaps try to adapt a little to the usual forum conventions?

I meant a one-off edition of Boogie Beebies at 9:20pm for Red Nose Day 2009 (the line-up I would have preferred) with Pete Hillier doing a dance appropriate for teenagers . Got that? Teenagers. And as for the other special edition after midnight, Pete doing a dance for ADULTS 18 and over.


Look - Boogie Beebies is for pre-school children.

I cannot fathom anything of less interest to teenagers, never mind the wider audience.

TV Forum isn't necessarily representative of all demographics in the UK, but by now you must have heard the almost unanimous sound of "urgh" every time you pitch this children's show for an adult audience.

In my opinion your taste is somewhat... unique - for a man of your years.

If that's not something you've realised on your own then it should by now be something you've gleaned from the reactions of forumers here.

Got that?

Well obviously he didn't.

Colour of money was a load of old crap wasn't it?

I hadn't heard of the TV programme "Colour of Money" until I read your note just now, so obviously I didn't watch it. Since reading your note, I've done a Google search for it and found this reference to it on Wikipedia. According to the article, it was a game show presented by Chris Tarrant, shown on ITV.

Amazing that this show could be such a flop when a previous ITV game show presented by Chris Tarrant, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" was such a popular success from the start.

That just shows you clearly never bother reading what other people think and are only interested in your own little world where Boogies Beebies is on 24/7 and you pop in once a month or so to dictate your views to us, ignoring the unanimous disapproval of most of what you write. As others have said, get a blog!
