BBC TV - BIG SPENDERS WANTED

Betty TV is making a new television series for BBC3 called RETAIL
THERAPY.

We are currently looking for people to be in the series, so please
read on in case you or your friends and colleagues could benefit.

Retail Therapy is a ten part series for BBC3 and the idea is that each
week a different 'big spender' is given advice and tips on how they
can live the high-life with out compromising on their life-style.

There are two expert presenters, one is a stylist who is full of
life-style tips about how to look good, eat out and live in a stylish
yet affordable way. The other presenter is a psychologist, who will
help the spender find other ways of getting fulfillment from life that
doesn't involve spending beyond their means.

The spender will also get practical financial advice.

It's a money make-over show, an informative yet light-hearted and fun
way for ‘big spenders' to get in control of their finances.

To find out more, please contact Kalita on 020 7290 0660 or email


Thanks again, I'm grateful for any help.

Best wishes,

And the sad part about it is that my license fee is paying for this
shite.

 

I dunno - I reckong that if play your cards right, you could get a nice
996, R1 or similar, paid for by the Beeb.....

 

Yeh, more shite programs prying into peoples sad little lives, watched
by other people with sad little lives who give a shit about what amounts
to complete and utter bollocks.

You honestly think these people are going to get paid for this? Vanity
will have them working for free and begging for more.

 

Sorry, what are these shite programmes of which you speak.

As you know, I don't have a telly - The few friend I have do and I can't
say I enjoy watching it when I'm round there.

Makes me fucking angry, most of it.

Really? I didn't realise it was like ukrm. You have said.

I dunno about anybody else but I find that particular concept deeply
disturbing.


Anything we can do to cheer you up mate?

 

Don't get me wrong. I like a lot of documentaries and factual stuff but
it's the "pop of programs" AKA most sitcoms and prime time dramas that
get on my tits. People fucking bitching and sniping at each other, it
makes me sick.

When I know what it is, you'll be the first to know.

No no no, you misunderstand. It was the concept of you getting angry
that worries me. I have seen the results of your imagination let loose
in the real world.

 

Well generally, I'll ask if they can turn it over or if I can see
they're engrossed, I'll do something else.

If you mean what I think you mean, I had some help

The added extras are like added features to a blank canvas.

 

Heh.. when I do watch telly, it usually consists of cartoons, sci-fi or
bikes.

Yeh, overload of <insert word here> Accadamy, and so called reality
programs. Also this fixation with the middle east at the moment is now
very boring[1].

[1]A bomb went off.. someone was shot... more people shot.. another
bomb.... oh, look.. people getting their heads cut off... blah, blah..

 

There's bikers bollocks and there's normal bollocks.. they're different.

 

Do you every get grief from the TV licensing people who threaten to take
you to court because they say you do?


This did happen to me once [1] when I didn't have a TV.
They told lies and made up evidence.
[1] Early 70s but I'm told they haven't changed.

 

Err. Thanks for that.

I re-read your post three times and I still can't make proper sense of
it but if what you are saying is what I think you're saying, then they
sound much like the police, and I've had a few dealing with them over
the years as well

 

I've just been getting loads of begging letter, atm. I've phoned the up
and told them to **** off already.

I did have an aerial going into my place (the lead, anyway) and the
cunts broke the thing in half and pulled it out of the wall. I don't
know how it was them but I just do, IYKWIM.

I phoned up, told them again I don't have a telly. Two weeks later,
another letter saying they'd visited and again, the lead was hanging out
of the wall - after I'd put it back in?

Coincedence? Maybe, but IYAM, it was them[1]

[1] Which reminds me of a story my Uncle told me about when he used to
repair tellies for a TV hire shop. If the people hadn't paid rent for
their telly for a while and weren't in, they'd stick a drawing pin
through the coax so shorting the wire and fuzzing the signal. The
people'd phone up and complain, they'd go round and collect the telly.

 

You wont be alone. It was written with a cup of strong coffee in one
hand.

You probably have got it.

No probs then.
