Do you think the share would have dropped at all if the weatherman quit?

That article shows only a snippet of the true picture. On Monday and Tuesday it’s share price was even lower. If anything it generated a buzz in ITV before it stabilised back to normal. It’s price now is no lower than it was before.
Do you think the share price would have risen if Piers didn’t kick off? With piers there it’s consistently second best in the ratings to BBC Breakfast. He’s hardly pulling in tens of millions and millionsDo you think the share would have dropped at all if the weatherman quit?
That doesn't make him interesting though. It means he will just do something else to divide people and whip up a storm.He is interesting clearly and will be having million pounds contracts waived at him as we speak

I’m not sure the assertion he is a racist is right either. Totally obsessed with Meghan manifesting itself as some kind of irrational hatred maybe....In what way is he a bigot exactly? I don’t like him but I think he’d be consistently obnoxious to anyone and like him or not he is interesting I suppose - I’ve never watched the programme I have to say
I wonder if the axing of The Mash Report is cancel culture?
Meghan's broken his brain
Apparently it’s left wing propaganda so it’s fair game.I wonder if the axing of The Mash Report is cancel culture?
Nah they shouldn't cancel it, it's all fair game and why not have somebody dedicated to mocking the government, its called Fun, I think alot of people have truly forgotten what light Hearted piss taking is all aboutApparently it’s left wing propaganda so it’s fair game.
I liked the mash report because I find Rachel Parris & Ellie Taylor really funny.Nah they shouldn't cancel it, it's all fair game and why not have somebody dedicated to mocking the government, its called Fun, I think alot of people have truly forgotten what light Hearted piss taking is all about
Everybody is wayyyyy too serious about absolutely everything
Geoff Norcott too. Who as a proud Tory and Brexiteer is anything but a leftie, woke type.I liked the mash report because I find Rachel Parris & Ellie Taylor really funny.

Good news for you. Mrs Brown has been renewed until 2026 and there's plans for a Citizen Khan film.Now, if they can cancel Mrs Brown and Citizen Khan, then we're really cooking.
Let's hope cinemas aren't allowed to reopen until it's been released, then.Good news for you. Mrs Brown has been renewed until 2026 and there's plans for a Citizen Khan film.
The BBC comedy output is awful and has been for many years.I'm lefty and proud and always found the Mash Report remarkably unfunny.

Fair point. Completely agree.Think you can extend that to British comedy in general with the BBC being particularly poor

I might sound slightly reactionary now but, comedy's about being edgy, firing at targets, and it's hard to do that nowadays.
That said, not sure comedy's ever been that great bar the occasional series that keeps going, that distorts things. Onee thing with lockdown is I've been watching a lot of older stuff and for every Only Fools and Horses, there's a Love Thy Neighbour or Home Sweet Home. Used to find Three Up Two Down hilarious when I was little - it's bloody awful!
Oh, and on the politics, re-watching the Thick of It and of course they take the piss out of the government - which was Labour at the time of course, for the first three series, and they seem to presciently anticipate Corbyn in the last one! If we had a Labour government, comics would take the piss out of it, as it's the obvious target. Let's face it, the likes of Johnson, Gove and Rees-Mogg offer far more material for people to use than anybody actually manages to do effectively!
The main issue is the sheer amount of comics who end up getting a slot on TV, and most of them should stick to Village Hall gigs really.
Just turned up on Britbox, too. First couple of series were actually pretty good(!) then they descended to catchphrase and cliche.Allo allo is on gold if you are interested

Somewhere, they're taking the piss out of some characteristic, however.Thing is most sit coms are really grotesque caricatures and absurd situations. Most that attempt to be edgy or “dark” are rather dull

Nish Kumar is a little annoying, I like Rachel Parris, TBH I think the condescending but is part of her act, and anyone Marcus Brigstock marries can’t be all bad. Not a massive Norcott fan, but he’s doing the same thing they are by caricaturing the other side.
If there’s a market for it, crack on. Though I can’t help but feel a show that’s basically the funny takes from Twitter that week in scripted form feels a little outdated.
