Well Done BBC

Well done to the BBC for at last airing a comedy that is both side-splittingly funny, well acted and is suitable for all the family (no ruddy swearing for once). I’m talking about The Wright Way, written by Elton John. I won’t spoil the plot but let’s just say it’s about a health & saftey inspector (something close to my heart). It’s got great characters that are hilarious. My only criticism is it’s on too late (I was canny and recorded it, then watched it this morning after viewing Homes Under The Hammer).

Watch it. You won’t regret it. Ray Eastleigh

The O APprentice

Good evening Beckworth. I’m very pleased to see my favourite apprenticeship based TV programme, The Apprentice, is returning to our screens for its 32nd series.

But come on Sir Albert Sugar, how’s about a version for us more mature members of society? I speak for many of my generation when I say there’s plenty of juice left in the old dog, and like many I’d be up for coming out of retirement to work at your computer factory. And being an insomniac I could even work the night shift.

So Sir Sugar, don’t write us off and concentrate on youngsters, give us a punt, you’ve got nothing to lose. The BBC could even call it the Octogenarian Apprenticeship Protoges and put it on at a sensible time. Just before Bargain Hunt. Thanks, Ray Eastleigh
