Re: BBC TV: The Repair Shop
Before getting too precious about the items on "Money for Nothing" it's worth remembering they are going in the skip otherwise. We should be horrified by the things being thrown away and the fact that the general public is forbidden from saving and using any of it.
The worst crime on that programme is the quality of the "makers", a good example being the old lighting man who basically rubs a bit of wax over the item and then has someone else do the creative bit. At least on the "Repair Shop" they seem to know what they are doing.
The formulaic, repetetive structure of these programmes is infuriating but it seems to be the way of television these days, one of the reasons I watch very little of it.
