Checked the Times online this morning, as is my wont.
A story about the BBC deciding not to commission any more game shows caught my eye. Seems that they think it’s a tired format and and suffers from “testosterone overload” and laddishness (though the decision to revive The League of Gentlemen and The Alan Partridge Show hardly augur an age of gender-inclusivity).
106 people had already comments with a strong groundswell of support for Have I Got News for You (HIGNFY).
My incisive contribution to the great national debates du jour was to respond to the comment “Actually I was also hoping the BBC could swap Bake Off for Drop the Dead Donkey” with “How about Bake the Dead Donkey?“, which I thought was pretty good for half-past seven in the morning.
Anyway, I got a quite ‘Recommend’ (at 7:37), but by 08:14 my comment had been -erm- dropped..
Another nail in the coffin of free speech.
After Work 
Jolly well done ! I don’t think I could have come up with anything that witty at seven thirty of a morning. I don’t know either programme, donkey or baking, but I will miss Have I got News for You, if they drop it. I even find the repeats funny, even if the news is history.
Probably not the BBC, but could the programme programmers please also drop all the programmes associated with property, property improvements, house building, house buying and selling. They are smug and beyond boring.
Thank you
