Expect low cost drivel in bulk

I suspect that this time the drivel has been very expensive. From what
I've read today it appears that the BBC filmed 4 episodes of the
Generation Game but only 2 were fit for transmission.

So that's two episodes of Generation Game and two episodes of Generation Game: The Episodes We Couldn't Show (But Will Anyway As We've Already Paid For Them).

Take two hours of material that should have been binned after the
hitting the cutting room floor and make it into 6 hours of broadcast TV
by dividing it up into 60 second clips and get celebrities to talk about
each clip at length before showing it.

Get yet another 2 hours by endlessly trailing the programs in the weeks
before broadcast.

As with all such unscripted game shows, it's only as good as the
presenters and contestants make it. And you either like members of the
public having themselves made to look like fools or you don't.
We have enough making themselves look like fools on here without needing
it on TV too. ;-)

For me that makes the other two more intersting.
