Gratuitous and Nasty
Let’s be honest at Christmas you expect the Christmas TV schedules to be padded out with some crap. It’s understandable that after spending money on the big name Christmas special extravaganzas and blockbuster films the channels will find some old rubbish to fill the off-peak viewing hours.
Usually this consists of “classic” comedy shows, cheap films or hastily constructed compilations from successful series. Last night however we stumbled across a criminally low quality show entitled “Uncut! When Santas Go Wrong”.
Consider the title. First its festive because it mentions “Santa”, then there’s “Go Wrong” – do they fall over in a hilarious fashion or are they beer-swilling, child-hating Santa’s. Finally “Uncut!” (note the exclamation mark) so there could be swearing too.
Not quite.
What the programme did consist of was the lowest quality collection of supposedly amusing clips I have ever seen. The “Uncut!” appeared to refer to the sequences of two models in Santa outfits, bra and panties flashing at the camera between the third rate clips.
We managed to watch about three minutes of it before turning the TV off.
Just FYI we only came across the show because we’d been watching the previous programme and unwinding after a long Christmas day.
I really am beginning to despair at the low quality of TV that is being produced. Maybe the Internet is the only place we’ll get decent quality content soon.
DVD is the way to go. Theres nothing on down here either, the usual film repeats (if I see Billy Madison again I’m going to effing scream).
I stocked up a day before Christmas, renting out the first two seasons (I missed the entire series due to a TV network screwing the programming times) of The Sopranos, and I’ve been a little bug eyed today, pulling an all-nighter.
Gratuitous indeed, I saw even less of that programme than you did!
Although if you bought Suze an outfit like above (or were sent one to try) I’d risk another bit of gratuitous christmas pleasure!
