32. Totally unreal reality

CHEAP TELE.

If you by chance are the rumoured reader - and are also a fan/devotee/supporter of reality television shows - look away now.
I think they are crap.
Cheap tele.
An abomination.
I am convinced that some Shareholders' Darling at the top of the television ladder sought out the cheapest load of bilge conceivable and snapped it up for the delectation of the most cheaply pleased audience.
Totally unreal reality for the totally uncritical viewer.
I never could warm to the television cook ('chef' be buggered) 'teaching' squirming tyros - nobodies or self-styled celebrities - by bawling obscenities at them.
I was equally appalled as people who should have been repaid with a very hard slap made sneering remarks about the lack of dancing/singing/skating/love-making-ability or whatever of other human beings. And all in the name of 'good television?'
Among the most useless tools are reality television judges.
Latest to grace our screens have been a previously unheard of 'chef' and a greengrocer who, after an apparently successful first series of yet another MasterChef show, miraculously transformed into a 'nutrition and dietary expert.'
No, sorry, cannot stand it.
Cannot stand waiting the long, long, interminably long seconds ('It's good television.' Bollocks!)to find out who has been knocked out, kicked off, or even won, either.
I'll just stick to the stuff done by professionals, thank you.

SPOOKS.

Now this is a very professional job. Frighteningly so at times. All the intelligence types are at each others' throats and all the politicians are murderous bastards.
Total reality really.
I believe it.
