British TV is crap. There is no denying this with every channel hosting banal, lightweight, reality TV based programmes, unimaginative game shows, (Hole In The Wall, anyone?) and soul sucking soap operas. As a viewer searching for programmes of substance, like a Lion searching for prey across the sun baked Serengeti, I am starved. Imagine my delight when I heard that BBC 2 had bought up the rights to show the critically acclaimed crime series The Wire. Overjoyed and anxious I then discovered to my horror that BBC 2 will be airing the entire five seasons of The Wire, with an episode a night, at the prime time of 11.20pm. Who the f**k is going to stay up every week night to watch each episode at that time, unless you have some fancy-dan technological recording device. British TV has arsed about for over four years to air this brilliant series and now they have it, they shaft everyone by giving it a wholly unreasonable time to show it. Well done British telly, well done.
