Wednesday 25th October 2000
Today's highlights include
BIG MATCH LIVE- 7.30pm ITV- all regions
- Arsenal v Prague: presented by Des Lynam from Highbury in London.
********************************************
CORONATION STREET, 9.45pm ITV - all regions
- Special from Paris. A butcher, a butcher's over the top girlfriend, a wimpish butcher's son, a tarty butcher's wife all together climbing the Eiffel Tower for 15 minutes of telly time. At least Frank Butcher is worth laughing at (sometimes)...
********************************************
TONIGHT WITH TREVOR MACDONALD- 10.20pm ITV- all regions
- An investigation into the number of road deaths and injuries to American motorists caused by bad tyres and Carol Vorderman has a report on the dangers of chatting on the Internet. Good show tonight. Worth watching.
********************************************
ANGLIA NEWS (WEST)- 6.00pm ITV- Anglia region only
- Always thought that this programme seems to be cheap and tacky- rough around the edges. Good, though, for finding out about country life and the West Anglian way of life. Tonight's edition is presented by Tim Curtis and Caroline Oldrey- just for a change!
********************************************
HTV NEWS- 6.00pm ITV- HTV WALES region only
- All you viewers in the west waking up to one of the last few days of independence, before C*****N grab HTV and eats it alive. Things on the HTV news front will be changing if C*****n get their way with you. There'll be stars and Gill Sans everywhere wihin 2 months. And less of calling it HTV- it will be known as CARLTON HARLECH. You've been warned!
********************************************

TRISHA, 9.25am ITV- all regions
THIS MORNING, 10.30am ITV- all regions
3 MINUTES: HOMELESS, 1.25pm ITV- MERIDIAN region only

I wouldn't quite go so far as to say that I would rather have had tickets for a show by the late American violent drug-addled talentless shit-throwing performance artist and shit-thrower G.G. Allin. Neck and neck, though.

There is nothing on TV tonight. Instead, I shall be settling down with the last two Larry Sanders Shows from the video I got from HMV for a fiver, followed by the first few Brass Eyes. As I haven't seen them for about two years.

Actually no! It's my comedy writing wealth which means I can waste so much time on this forum and still pay the phone bill.

BC, you write comedy?
Or is this some ongoing joke in which- if this were a sitcom- a whole minute would be devoted to each week reviewing what had happened to a desperate audience?

[Shaking with awe:] M-mister Cryer, sir, w-what was it like to work with Neil Shand on all those shows? D-do you have a favourite memory from when you were writing "The Russ Abbott Show"?
[Passes out from the agony of anticipation]
