Points of View

Why oh why oh why were channel 4 and ITV both showing the same freaking programme yesterday afternoon? Paul O'Grady repeats on one, a new show on the other. Surely this is a new low for British TV.

And another thing: how do Matalan get away with copying other people's adverts? Last year they did the Tesco idea of having red price discs on the screen that the models covered up, threw into swimming pools or stuffed into the mouth of Lenin (advert highlight of last year). Identical. Now they have copied the M&S idea of having four models having an inordinately good time in clothes they would not wear to do the gardening in (although I doubt they garden). It's such blatant plagiarism that it would make an a-level student blush.

That is all.
