filming a TV show called

How is that an essential service?


It's work which he can't do from home. I don't think there's been a
point
at which non-essential *work* was forbidden (otherwise my friends
who
run a
mail-order wool company would have had to close, for example). Or do
you
think all production of new TV programmes should have ceased for a
year?

(OT) Well .... I would be happy to see all soaps cease for 50
years. It
might give TV a chance to devise some new, original dramas instead of
bombarding us with endless variations on the same tedious
stories......

is your TV missing an OFF button?




No. It also has a channel change option. It is just that I wish
there were
more options for original UK drama, instead of endless repetition of
things long past their sell-by dates.

So you really can't find anything of interest on one of the 57 channels
(with nothing on!).

A good proportion of those would have nothing to show if Adolf hadn’t
invaded Poland.


I agree

I do wish they would make documentaries on other wars

;-)

I know zip all about the minutiae of the Boer War or the Crimea War for
example (all I know comes from a couple of Hollywood blockbuster movies
- and we all know how inaccurate they can sometimes be)






Not a lot of library footage from either of those.
