Advantages: You can make people you hate watch it

Disadvantages: They might make you watch it

Why the country is wasting so much time and energyloathing the BBC over Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand when far greater crimes such as this are being perpetrated by the Beeb I'll never know. I mean, they may be irresponsible eejits, but at least they're entertaining and funny (i.e. do what they're paid for) whereas My Family - well frankly, I'd rather chew off my own arm than sit through a whole episode.

Such a lot of talent is wasted on this dross too - Robert Lindsay of Citizen Smith, GBH, great theatre productions is now best known for this travesty of a comedy. Likewise Zoe Wanamaker should know better. I guess it's just their pension plan.

And I'm not just basing this rant on a single 30 second snatch of weak dialogue, predictable storyline and awful canned laughter. For some inexplicable reason my other - who usually doesn't suffer quite such terrible lapses in taste - quite likes this programme. It will get put on surreptitiously and left until I can't take it any more and grab the remote. Even if I'm not watching TV at all it just makes my toes curl being in the same room when this is on. Insufferable

Summary: Shoot the writers, producers, commissioners...
