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***?

Does anybody know anyone who does, or has ever, watched it?

There's a lottery results show?  How long does it take to read out half a dozen numbers?

I have never understood the point of that show either and I like an occasional flutter on the lottery.

Well:
you know how long it takes them to read out the winner on the talent shows these days? Extrapolate from that, and add some footage of bouncing numbered balls.

Ant & Dec maybe?

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.
