Subject: RE: Obit: Sir Clement Freud (16 April 09 )
The news prompted me to look at some fragments of 'Just a Minute' on YouTube. Brings it home how television has subsided over the past 20 years. Those panel programmes were manned by very bright people.
Just a Minute, My Music, University Challenge, My Word, gone. Has anyone seen a programme that entertains on that sort of intellectual level recently?
Oh dear, I sound like an intellectual snob. I just get tired of TV full of perverts, monsters, sex, and guns. Oh, and 'adult' cartoons. R.I.P. Clement, and his type of programme.
