Truly Awful Television

Is it me or is the new host of Countdown Nick Hewer truly awful? He seems to be way out of his comfort zone and something of a sour and bullying presence, mind you that hasn't stopped Jeremy Paxman hosting University Challenge.

Whilst we are on television I think today it hit a new low. Just seen a promo for a programme showing women cooking their placentas. That's about as gross as you can get and the trailer was shown at 4 pm. The programme, and the title and time deliberately escape me, will also show how to make placenta prints.... Yuck.

Not everything is bad in tele land. Caught up today on Law and Order UK which is exceptional drama with Bradley Walsh in great form as a laconic cop.

Today I had to visit the dentist for my first filling for years. The numbness has just warn off, thankfully in time to take my son and his fiancee out for his 28th birthday.
