it's just a way to save money
why pay for many 'talented' professionals when you can just have one and some random nutters from the public you do not need to pay
makes tulip tv but then i think nowadays people just turn on the tv and turn of the brain so it just becomes moving wallpaper

There is a dearth of nonsense on TV.
Mostly no-talent programs, getting members of public to fill the airwaves doing stuff, instead of actual artistic content programs.
Come Dine With Me, X Factor / Brit Got Talent, Sewing Bee, etc
have to say though MasterChef is slightly better than most.
As if to prove that TV will one day disappear up it's own behind, there is a C4 program called Gogglebox, where you can watch other people watching TV.

The biggest allotment challenge is actually getting one in the first place. We've been on the waiting list for two years now, and when we added our names to the list we were told to expect at least a five year wait.
We can get a private one, but paying £250 a year doesn't really appeal to me.

I am surprised they have not got Kevin McCloud doing some type of masterchef with bricks show, clearly nobody is building any grand design houses these days so they have got him doing some right nonsense to fill up his contract.

They get whole rooms and houses done for needy people and get the furniture in a day from well-known chain stores.

Seriously, are they so creatively hindered in the BBC that this is the best they can come up with?

One of the team I've been working with was approached to take part in that as she's an allotment nutter. She declined to enter since "it was too masterchefish".
