I've always found her very Doris Day.
I work in *whisper* Local Government, and the rubbish they spew on TV about that sector has steam coming out of my ears. Let alone when you see in dramas and stuff 'the man from the council' with his suit, clipboard and condescending attitude. For a start most 'men from the council' are actually women, unless you are talking Director level. Quote:
Try 20 years as a journalist and the way that gets reported on the television in shows which aren't meant to be a comedy!
David Nobbs' Pratt of the Argus novel very closely resembles my early years as a trainee on a weekly newspaper in a small Yorkshire market town and is still my favourite journalism related book. Drop the Dead Donkey was hilarious accurate at times as well. Are we spotting a pattern here?! |

My sister was a veterinary nurse and she despaired over some of the programmes about vets or animal hospitals!

*de-lurking* to add... I am a nurse... Jo Brand's 'Getting on' is probably the most realistic representation of general ward life - none of this Holby or Casualty malarkey

Try convincing parents that Waterloo Road isn't an accurate reflection of teaching... Ex-OH was a police officer and brother was a fireman. The hilarity/frustration with The Bill, London's Burning and the like were a constant theme.
Are we spotting a pattern here?! My mum was a teacher and was always yelling at Waterloo road 'that'd never happen!' 'You can't send everyone to the cooler!' |

I'm an archaeologist, have never once been chased by a boulder or melted the faces off any nazis. Though I am still training so I suppose there's something to aim towards.

I would like to unappreciate whoever took the bottle away from Anneka Rice. Granted, she had nothing really to say about the competition, but I do feel she was only a glass away from saying something interestingly indiscreet if irrelevant. Equally, I would have preferred Mel to tell us more about the shenanigans and malarkey that happened on tour rather than banalities about the dance off...

Like many, deeply unappreciating Danny's AT music, but I absolutely loved him saying on ITT that he hated it too. How many times have we ever heard either a pro or a celeb say there was something they didn't like? Unappreciated him then not sticking to it and saying he had been brought round. Craig was refreshing as ever - admitting freely that this year, the judges were going to be able to do very little (because I think this year, some of the largest public vote is going to the 'duffers' and at the top of the leaderboard, it's very close). Last year, excluding J for these purposes, the vote (according to polls) was generally going towards the better dancers - Anita, Helen, Georgia. Maybe because the 'comedy' contestants weren't as interesting/popular last year? Unappreciating whoever did not alert Anneka to the fact she should have parted her hair the other way (she had it covering her face to camera most of the time). You would have thought she had enough TV experience not to make that mistake. |

Taking Danny to see their stage show Last Tango is a good idea.

I loved that programme. I know the characters were broadly drawn but the stereotypes and situations did seem real. I always felt mean for laughing at poor Gerry, Damien's cameraman.
This 'so much fun' malarky is a pain in the rear. You're not being paid to have fun. Just do the damn dance properly and cut out the fun fun fun bit. Louise had the air of someone whose had enough now, pleased thank you very much. Zoe should have been able empathise with Danny - she loathed the music to one of her dances. Paso? Add me to the absolutely adored Mick Aston group as well. Cried like I knew him when he died. |

I wonder just how brought round he really is. Perhaps he was just trying to make sure that the producers wouldn't try to make him do an elegant, sophisticated waltz to James Brown's Sex Machine, followed by a cheeky salsa to Bring your daughter to the slaughter by Iron Maiden.

I cried for days when Mick Aston died (the koala hair guy off Time Team). He was so missing from my idea of the world when he died. The atheist in love with early Church history. He was an individual.

My parents worked in the prison and probation sectors. Their thoughts on any series based on a prison are not to be repeated! ![]() Quote:

I completely unappreciated the dream I had last night where Daisy and Danny ended up in the bottom two. Please no.
![]() Not that I want to start on something I like but did Mel say she wouldn't mind seeing Louise and Kevin in the bottom two as they hadn't been there already or did she leave that dubious pleasure for just the male celebs (she definitely said it for Danny, Greg and Ed). |

Anyone who has not been in the dance off yet she mentioned by name excluding Louise. Partly I suspect because she had not got on a roll with the idea when their routine was discussed.
