For Britons only (and the rest of you don't realize how lucky you are)

[fpb]

Have I got news for you has been funny for decades, and its desirable prime-time Friday spot is deserved. Little Britain is unfunny, faddish and tasteless, and yet is placed immediately after it. This proves; one, that the best things at the BBC are those that go back to well beyond current management; and second, that current management is wholly incapable of anything like intelligent choices.

Maybe someone at the BBC is backing it? I remember from broadcasting school that the British network is run by the govt. and not private corporations as ours are. (Unless that's changed now.) So I'd guess that the choice of shows is less driven by ratings and therefore not as dependent on how many people like/dislike it?

There's no accounting for taste though, I hate daytime soap operas but I have co-worker who schedule their lunch breaks so they can sit up in the employee lounge and watch their favorite soap. D:
