Damn it!! The Lottery Results show (that I have always assumed nobody ever watches) moves to ITV.
Does anyone know of anybody who gives a flying f***?
Ant & Dec maybe?
Does anybody know anyone who does, or has ever, watched it?
I watched in general despair the first time it happened, thinking that surely the BBC could come up with something more classy - or at least less irritating - than Mystic Meg
[1]. And from then on my parents would pay the stupidity tax each week and generally tuned in
[2] to watch the balls drop, which was hard to avoid. It's not like there was anything good on the other side, anyway.
[1] If I'd had my way, they'd have deployed Carol Vorderman (who was yet to jump the shark) to do a regular 5-minute slot on all the things that would give a better return for your money than the lottery, as a statistical up-yours to the government.
