Techno, techno, techno, techno!
TheBBC found guilty today of ageist discrimination against dropped presenterMiriam O’Reilly has been forced by the announcement to scrap its own plans tooust itself in favour of the new format BEEB! Set to appeal more readily to allthe important youth market the BBC has been forced to cake itself in pancakeand dance like a dad, in brogues, to Blondie’s Heart of Glass, which will meannothing to anyone since everyone in Britain today is aged under 21.
The launch of BEEB! with its controversialnew line up of presenters, programming and cheap steady-cam shouting hasalready attracted headlines with its casting in the Celebrity News slot at 9pmwith a foetus. The last in a long line of hirings and firings starting withKimberley Zap (16) in the Newznite slot has left the BBC with egg on its face –although the announcement of a return of Top Of The Pops headed by a handful ofsperm leaves doubt as to the actual composition of said egg.
With the actors on EastEnders alreadyreplaced by those from Bob The Builder it’s difficult to say how theannouncement will leave the sudden reversal of scheduling. Country File havingalready been taken out and shot in a barn with Old Yeller due to the widely heldview that there is no such thing outside the M25, that leaves the currentseason only with Dik & Dom Boy Detectives to rank up alongside repeats ofscience and gadget show Why Don’t You.
A further announcement is set to followtonight’s coverage of the all-important St Peters Primary vrsDrew Street Junior in the Surrey under-11s quarter-final.
