I had a terrible dilemma last night on television. I had the opportunity to provide stimulation to my glorious brain cells or watch something that could have fell from my backside.
I mean who thought that putting Egypt's Lost Cities and Britain's Got Talent on at the same time was a good idea? Talk about ruining it for the same demographic audience! The poor people that would love to watch a talking dog (may not be on this year) or a stripper performing to Britney (maybe not true, who knows?), were of course also wanting to see the technical and painstaking exploration of the most amazing civilisation the world has ever known.
It was a crying shame that all those Simon Cowell fans couldn't watch Liz and Dallas as they discovered that the Egyptians were by far a more advanced race than those sitting round a box watching The Hoff wave his arms around and spout rubbish. There was however no evidence of Egypt's Got Talent or The Tut-Factor in all the research.
Anyway, thank goodness for all those iPlayery thingies, at least making a choice is not required and I am sure that those that voted for the old bloke singing "Tie My Kangeroo Down, Sport." last night (may also not have occurred) can still now sit down and watch a much less intelligent programme without the need of voting off either Osiris or Anubis ahead of tomorrow's next gripping show.
