I thought this was hilarious!

David Spade is The Honest Bachelor


Do you guys have this idiot show in the UK?

Ellie

Absolutely not!

Our TV schedules, and particularly ITV1, consist entirely of serious political debate, wildlife programmes and long periods where a picture of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is screened accompanied by stirring military music.

This sober state of affairs is only broken up by brief ad breaks in which a series of almost deliriously happy young ladies in dazzling white dresses or tight trousers, skip, dance, throw the javelin and generally live life high on the hog all because they are lucky enough to be on their menstrual cycle are and sporting a particular brand of lady's sanitary wear.

The networks then all close down at 10.00pm sharp and we all go to our beds wearing bowler hats and lay stiffly alongside each other discussing gardening in clipped accents and trying to avoid having marital relations. Especially the men.

I hope this helps.

Perish the thought of that on British TV!

Clive, you forgot the Epilogue, five minutes of spiritual thought about the day gone by and the day to come.

That's on Channel 4, though.

Between the ballet and the discussion of the arts programming.

You see, if you had to suffer through shit programming that is The Bachelor, and the offshoots, Bachelorette, and Bachelor Pad, I'd feel sorry for you.

But seeing how you have shows like "Planting with Edna Potts" and "The Making of Slippers," then that's a hell all of its own.

And there I was, thinking this was about the wonderful

Bachelors

Good God! Donald Peers was that? Couldn't have been he was Welsh

Glass of Charmaine anybody? Not one of their best performances
