pompe is the first person on my friends list to have linked to this BBC news item, a report on the opinions of British broadcaster and writer Sir Patrick Moore regarding the influence of women on British television.[Moore] said: "The trouble is the BBC now is run by women and it shows soap operas, cooking, quizzes, kitchen-sink plays. You wouldn't have had that in the golden days."
"I would like to see two independent wavelengths - one controlled by women, and one for us, controlled by men."
He claimed that interesting programmes were screened too late at night, and said he would "rather be dead in a ditch" than appear on Celebrity Big Brother. And asked about his favourite series, Sir Patrick said he no longer enjoyed certain programmes because of their modern storylines.
"I used to watch Doctor Who and Star Trek, but they went PC - making women commanders, that kind of thing. I stopped watching."
Is it just me, or are some of the people who complain about the tyranny of political correctness just jackasses?
