So...it's OUR fault?

You have got to be kidding me.

Reuters seems happy to report Patrick Moore's opinions on TV today: "The trouble is that the BBC now is run by women and it shows: soap operas, cooking, quizzes, kitchen-sink plays. You wouldn't have had that in the golden days." He adds that "I used to watch Doctor Who and Star Trek, but they went PC -- making women commanders, that kind of thing. I stopped watching."

I've got to admit that I don't know who he is. But, to be honest, I don't think I want to. Who comes out with stuff like that these days?! I agree that there is a fair amount of rubbish around on TV, but I hardly believe that that is the fault of women. And there are more educational and intelligent programmes around, because of the increase in sheer number of channels and all that. I say we start a revolution in better TV by getting rid of him and his incredibly sexist views.

Pfffft.

Um... lucy. Patrick moore is a world famous astronomer, not that that excuses the stupid sexist comments he made! lol. He's been knighted don't ya know! lol. He's the told fat guy with the monocol who talks really really really really fast. Mum phoned him up once, he's in the phone book, lives in brighton or such like... somewhere by the sea. Anyway, I agree with you, just a bit shocked that you didn't know who he was...
