BBC's 9pm output

[matty]

I had the pleasure of watching Hotel Babylon last night, and shall doubtless be glued to Judge John Deed tonight. If you've never witnessed these two pieces of televisual carnage, I strongly urge you to do so.

 

With some of the worst acting, most laboured dialogue, and utterly risible plotlines in recent viewing history, they are not to be missed. Nancy Banks-Smith wrote this morning that watching Hotel Babylon 'made her teeth hurt' it was so poor.

 

I would love to think that Tamsin Outhwaite (for it is she) spent many months shadowing a Manager of a top hotel in order to achieve her faultless portrayal of someone who's never even stayed in a hotel, let alone managed one. And as for Martin Shaw in 'Deed'. His acting has never been quite up there with the greats (think Cannon and Ball in Boys in Blue) but for sheer stomach tightening woodenness, this programme is a must see. Water-cooler TV.

 

I beseech you to give up your Friday evening frivolity to bear witness to a little piece of crap. If I paid my licence fee, I'd stop paying it.
