Yes, I know we've only been going for a few weeks. But anyway, here's the first exciting section of our end of year rundown, and not just an excuse to stick the boot in on several TV shows that have irked us months before we had the idea of starting a blog purely for the purposes of sticking the boot in on several TV shows that have irked us.
And don't think of disparaging us just because we're not even pretending it's a proper awards ceremony, but a top ten rundown of good and bad shows. We're too wily for any such critics, and in any case have just scarpered down the fire escape, shouting the following over our shoulder:
THE BrokenTV AWARD FOR WORST TELEVISION PROGRAMME OF 2005
From ten to one, in reverse order:
10. NOT TONIGHT WITH JOHN SARGEANT (ITV1)
9. THE LATE EDITION (BBC Four)
8. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? WITH ANNE ROBINSON (BBC One)
Copying what The Daily Show does! It's the new copying what The David Letterman Show does! All three examples are fairly equally bad, although several bonus points to Not Tonight for getting John Sparkes back onto national television. It was only a Barry Welsh offcut, but we'll take it.
7. THE FRIDAY NIGHT PROJECT (Channel Four)
Good Things About Jimmy Carr:
- He's a quite good stand up comedian sometimes.
Bad Things About Jimmy Carr:
[The rest of this post deleted. We've only got so many terabytes of disk storage, you know. -Blogger admin.]
Good Things About The Friday Night Project:
- The backdrops were done by the same artist who did the cover art for The Best Of Blur.
[edit] Except: no! It was someone nicking the style of Julian Opie, and not the Blur:Best designer after all (see the comments). This probably pushes TFNP even further up the 2005 List Of Evil.
- Erm.
Bad Things About The Friday Night Project:
[Look, I've told you once. -Blogger admin.]
Numbers 6 to 1 coming soon. And we'll have to find ten programmes to be nice about as well, I suppose.

It's not Julian Opie (Blur album cover art) who did the Friday Night Project pics. In fact, the presenters had to make a point of mentioning that it wasn't him, 'cos Opie was a bit upset that they'd nicked his style for the show (and he threatened to sue).
Really? So TFNP is even more bad and wrong than I'd previously thought. Blog duly amended accordingly.
So... no long list of anti-Jimmy sentiment? Yatch. :(
