I cannot stand that programme. It makes me want to punch Angela Rippon

Don't worry, that's just a normal human reaction to Angela Rippon.

Saw this in the background whilst trying to think of something more rewarding to do.

Utter rubbish produced for consumption of the whining,ill educated Proletariat.

Z list presenters desperately trying to hack out a niche for themselves as champions of the people, much like Mr Dom Littlewood..specialist subject>stating the bleedin' obvious.

..And it was only on a few weeks ago, at 09.15.......do they think people who watch daytime telly, dont watch in the evening?...........They also feature "Crown Currency exchange" how on earth is this "Rip off Britain"?, and you dont need all those "WWW Google.com" just put in "Go" and google will be shown.

It should be considered a tax on the stupid. Mind you, now that Jennie Bond has highlighted this no-one else will get duped.

I'm not so sure. I once shared a lift with Jennie Bond, but at the time, I thought she was Valerie Singleton.

I'm almost certain I was duped!

I don't know why, but I also find her intensely annoying. Cannot explain though.

Well if it lets morans let of a bit of steam on TV then leave them to it, I find some of these things funny and just sit feeling all intelligent knowing I wouldn't fall for what they have.

I'm sure you'd never come across as a moran.

You tend to find these programmes are full of misinformation and sensationalism.

You just have to look at the mess Panorama made with their recent pensions programme and all the errors and incorrect assumptions that contained to realise that if a "high profile" journalistic programme can get it wrong and sensationalise then these early evening dumbed down consumer programmes catering for the stupid are going to be even worse.

However, I would like to thank the OP for pointing this out as looking up the programme allowed me to see that the second series of Michael Portillo's excellent Great British Railway Journeys was on BBC2 and I have missed the first 3 episodes. I can now record the rest and catch up on Iplayer.
