Remind me again what the point of Children in Need is? Oh, that's right, charidee. Well blow me (but only if you can afford the necessary bid). There was I thinking it was an excuse for some of the worst teevee in the history of mindless entertainment. Why, just because there's a charidee appeal, is it thought necessary for serious news reporters to 'perform' on this show? To dress craply and do something from 'Grease'. Who cares? Who is really motivated to give money by such a farrago? You are? Then you're a twat. How are we meant to ever take these people seriously again? Things haven't been the same since Angela Rippon got out from behind that desk and slung her legs round Eric Morecambe and his short, fat hairy thing. I bet most of them absolutely hate the whole experience, which is the only good thing about it; watching that Buerk grimace as he has to recite some joke like a Wodehousian Pat and Mike sketch. And why, just because it's a charidee appeal, is it thought necessary for French and Saunders to be on our screens at all? But worst of all are the regional shows. Going to Wayne of Pontefract who is sitting in a bath of baked beans for the twentieth year in a row. Go and wank over Splosh magazine if you must Wayne, but don't inflict it on us. Is the real purpose of CiN that people with minority sexual preferences get to practice them on television? Must be a real thrill. All that cross-dressing, depilation, wallowing in various substances. Think about it. It's Mr Kinsey's fetish hour come to the screen. And then there's the activity out on the streets. Fourteen year olds in fancy dress let out from school because of a 'charidee' event. Fuck's sake. GO AND LEARN SOMETHING YOU PATHETIC MORONS. You don't get a career by learning to wear a Goofy outfit. Actually, if you link up with someone of deviant enough sexuality, you just might.
