PN, you should work for Teletext, youd be brilliant at it and i understand that they pay really well!

You can't have a job just because you want one, or could do it.
If only life were that simple.

Mostly it's done by software these days anyway.

If such a job were available, it'd be over-subscribed and I'd stand out on my CV as "hasn't actually done any typing since 1982", because that is the date my CV shows I stopped doing a typing role full-time... and employers like to see that you have done the exact job for X years. You have to fit their magical boxes. I'd not even get an interview.

When I do these programme reviews, I am virtually horizontal, with a dodgy old keyboard at an awkward angle across one leg and a leaning TV table, so not even trying really. If I were tying it'd be virtually real-time word for word.

As you know, I have a number of websites ... some with huge traffic, like 6-10 visitors per day

Anyway, I'd LOVE to have one that did document all the programmes ... but I felt it would completely consume 20 hours/day keeping it all up to date, so it's an interest... which won't be turned into anything else.

There are way too many TV programmes like this, most of which I have never seen or can't get (I only have a freeview box), so I figured if I couldn't do it properly, I'd not do it at all...

Now, you know about my speshulness. Well, one of my traits is documenting everything... so I get overcome with an obsession that says I should be documenting something most of the time.

In fact, in the last 3 hours I've pretty much ripped through half the new developments of one town and documented them somewhere else

Obsessions ... who'd have 'em!

Well, I think weird things are what makes all all so interesting. Or at least, I hope so.

PN, I know your not allowed to advertised your websites but if you want to you can forward me links via pm?

I didn't see the program, thank god, but was it true it was from Summer 2007 ??, if so, what the hell is the point. or is it just BTL TV producers longing for the 'good ol'days'. I think it's only redeeming feature would, maybe some comedic value.:D

I dont know why they are showing so much old stuff?

Anyone any opinions?

Revisiting someone who happens to have knocked a wall down is lazy telly of the worst order.

The BBC said on radio 4 the other day they only reshow things twice in a six year period or some such figure. I couldn't hear it clearly because I was laughing so hard. And the BBC are better than the others!

The sick fact is that these "revisiteds" will not count as repeats ( probably) - as they have 5 mins tacked on the end of "lets see what happened" None of these are ever very interestng- where are the couples going bankrupt- where are the families finding out the properties have huge structural problems that werent uncovered in survey- things that happen every single day to MSers.Or they move into the property to find the neighbours burning out fridges on the front drive and running a knocking shop.
All that happens in these is someone has taken a wall out and with a bit of luck, bought an Aga.

I mean, wheres the real life?

What would be much more interesting is a show where Kirstie and Phil go back to people who are buried in the red after buying at peak, or who borrowed 4x joint salary only to find within a few weeks of moving in, they split up, suffered and accident, an illness or who have become unemployed, just to show the down side of all this ramping, and huge mortgage debt.

Of course it will never happen:rolleyes:, I suspect it's happening in the real world though, even as we speak.

I know what your saying but if you thought like that, you would not get married, not cross the road, worry your self to death, fear employment and never sign any kind of agree (never even rent).

Life is as dangerous for everyone on the counts above not just home owners.;)

I don't care too much.....I don't watch much tv! In fact,now I've focked the digibox I might just give up on tv. I'd miss a few things though. Grand Designs for example.
