Who gives a stuff about Carol?

So there's a big brouhaha about Carol Vorderman announcing she's leaving Countdown because they tried to make her take a big pay cut yaaawn and it's off air supposedly to make way for Channel 4 Racing yaaaaawn but quite frankly I don't care just BRING IT BACK. It's the format we love, not the quietly smug and gratingly chirpy presenters. You could put a blow up doll in the place of Carol and it would still be a great show. Just put it back on pleeaase. I need my Countdown fix.

Crap telly

I've broken my book diet and found myself compulsively watching Runs House and reruns of My Super Sweet 16 on MTV - the TV equivalent of Pot Noodle.

addicted to crap telly

since telly is famously getting worse all the time i think it's best to rejoice in it's grubbiness, rather than moan about the good ole days, so here's the list of dross i'm series linking on Sky+ at the moment:

• gray's anatomy (but it's gotta be series 3 on living tv - none of that 1-series-behind-shitey-stuff on five)
• ugly betty (but it's gotta be the first viewing on wednesdays on e4 - none of that two-days-after-the-main-event-shitey-stuff on four)
• the apprentice (that katie, eh? whottabitch)
  
• gordon ramsay's f word (worth it just to hear the foodie gobshite tell gordon to f*** off)
  
• countdown (i'll have an inverted T please carol)
• paul merton in china (disappointingly crap)
• shipwrecked 2007 (go tigers, go)
• big brother on the couch (my concession to BB so far. i will not get addicted to BB this year, i WILL NOT get addicted to BB this year ad infinitum)
  
• project runway (i really have sunk that low)
  
• abbey and janice - the beauty and the best (and yet lower still)

tragic isn't it?
