The Move - Looking On
Spent the entire evening lying on the settee like the big fat lazy man I am, watching "Chidren in Need" even although I am not a fan of all night charity marathons...
The production values are just too amateurish and the heart wrenching films between the performances make me feel uncomfortable about the life I lead - which is the way it should be I suppose...
However, I resent being chided by multimillionaires to contribute...
The Scottish element was definitely better than it has been (though this isn't saying much), with their main skit, on who should lead the traditional newsreaders' dance routine, being the best part - Heather the Weather was particularly entertaining...
The Dr Who sketch was just ok - the oh so obviously miming Spice Girls were cringe-worthy and Boyzone looked frankly awful...
However, the absolute nadir, as usual, was "Sir" Terry Wogan...
(smug)
Just what is it with the BBC and this man?
Apparently he waived his "Children In Need" fee following criticism over his £10,000 payment for anchoring the show...
Hang on a minute...
He was to get a fee for "Children in Need"?????
Last year he received £10,340 for "presenting" (ruining) the show...
In 2005, he received £9,065...
The BBC (sorry, the license-payers) already pay him £800,000 a year for a daily radio show (that's what? two hours a day?)...
And he wants to take £10,000 from the BBC which could go to the fund for these poor unfortunate children?
Unbelievably, he's been receiving a "Children in Need" fee every year since 1980...
This is incredible - in fact it's incredible the fat talentless twat actually gets paid for anything he does....
He ruined early evening TV for years with his vacuous "plug your latest product" so-called "Chat Show"...
He should give back all his fees for "Children in Need" - if he wasn't on it, more people might watch and donate....
Jeez-oh, even I'd donate something if the BBC promised to sack this waste of space...
What a dirty fat money grabbing...(cont. P 42)...
Late on switched over accidentally to find "Later with Jools Holland"...
Mr Holland is another worthless annoying BBC presenter paid far too much for nothing by "us"...
Anyway, on that show, Stereophonics, with their motorik-beat song "Dakota" and someone called Estelle, a female rapper with a superb rhythm section, outshone everyone else - from the self concious tosh of P J Harvey to the annoying jumping-around-like-schoolchildren-who've-listened-to-too-many-Franz-Ferdinand-records of The Foals...
King Creosote was good but they just have that studied amateurishness which for me is such a big turn off - think Belle and Sebastian or Aberfeldy...
Unfortunately I missed Don Henley - fortunately I missed Robert Plant...
Highlight of the Day : Stereophonics cleaning my palate

Totally agree regards your Wogan rant, (and for that matter Jools Holland). I listen to radio 2 a lot and hear every "dj" almost kissing his arse as they bum up this big man. I find him smarmy, unwitty and patronising, just like a television/radio presenter should be.
I'm not a fan of Tony Blackburn either but it annoyed me to see Wogan digging at him during the shambles that was the Radio 1 v Radio 2 Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
I cannot see any redeeming features re Wogan - he should be fired now p referably into space without a spacesuit.
God you're right. 10 big G's for a pop at Children in Need. He needs bull f**ked with a ragman's trumpet. but what's wrong with Percy Plant and Ali-pally Scouse?
Aye yer probably right re Planty - just my reaction to the mega-hype re the Led Zep reunion - I've never rated the band and could never see what all the fuss was about - and that, rather unprofessionally, spilt over into a quip about Mr P.
Apologies
