I will just make my point again.
I'm old enough to remember those dreadful 60's TV shows with The Spinners (Gawd Bless 'em) complete with Aran Sweaters and dolly birds sitting on hay bales in a mocked up barn.....
Yes, of course there were parts of last nights show that I didn't like much. (And no, I won't get personal). But I ask the question.
Could any of you have achieved a better show?
Yes? No?
If Yes. Go on then. Do it. Get the funding, Get BBC4 interested enough to back your idea. In essence... do the work!

With no real knowledge about the production criteria, I'm assuming that the concept of a slightly warped version of "The Good Old Days" came from Bellowhead. Jolly good I say.
Why not? What is there to criticise?
Good luck and Merry Christmas to them.
My only criticism would refer to too much camera time devoted to the bloke with the suspect leggings.
No doubt, you will all disagree with me. But, Hell...I don't care. I know how difficult it is to even get a show like this through the buraucracy that is BBC Commissions.

Well done to all involved. And lets stop carping, and congratulate BBC4 for doing it at all, and ask for more, please.
