Fed up with all those mediocre antiques taking up airtime on a long-cherished, ratings-winning programme on BBC1? (You know - the ones which don't turn out to be worth very much at all? Boo!) Think there's just not enough Fiona Bruce on TV these days?



Fiona's agent screams: "Give my client MORE work! MORE MONEY! Nom nom nom nom nom..."

Need a desperately cobbled-together clip show to lighten the economic gloom, and appeal to your Very Worst Instincts by making you mutter "Undeserving, ignorant fucking peasants," under your breath even louder?

Well, not to worry - the ideas-impaired Tarquins have just the show for you:

Priceless Antiques Roadshow! This evening (and all this week...and next week - they've got 31 years' worth of archive material to ransack and re-package, the feckin' cheapskate recyclers), BBC2, 18:30-19:00 GMT.

Gah. The BBC's reduced talent pool strikes again. Did Graham Norton/Jonathan Ross/other overpaid nonentity turn this one down? Don't worry - outgoing Doctor Who shouty Scottish 'actor' David Tennant is co-hosting this year's Comic Relief on Friday night, so that's one channel of wall-to-wall shite you don't have to worry about missing...

my country's knackered, undeserved "celebrity", bad tv, charlie brooker is on holiday, links
