What might have been...
Just as television seemed to be dragging itself out of the lifestyle and reality doldrums with genius ideas suited perfectly to the medium - I’m a Celebrity, The Games et al, the lily-livered executives at ITV pull Man Versus Beast from the airwaves. All because some po-faced actors (and I’m pointing my finger squarely at you, Dame Judy Dench. They’re not going to recommission As Time Goes By, so let the rest of us enjoy ourselves.) and earnest pressure groups kick up a bit of fuss. And what’s it being replaced with? World’s Greatest Magic Tricks. Excellent, just what we need. I’ll tell you what’s magic mate, forty four dwarves and an elephant having a tug of war, that’s what.
