The “One” Show ........

There is only one show in town at the moment and that’s Covid19. 

You can’t get away from it. 

It’s in the news, it’s got its own daily update with socially distancing MP’s providing dull, uninspiring information in a style guaranteed to bore. The fact that they wheel out a different cast to reel out the same lack of answers to the same questions each day. 

Deaths and cases go up, or down but the drone remains the same.

At moments like these I think about the 24 hour news stations and their constant repetitive cycle that goes round in an an hour rather than a day. I mean how much of the same can you take?

In the past there has been “breaking” terrorist attacks or explosions where we have to go to our nearest reporter to give you their uninformed eye witness commentary as they speak to people who didn’t see what happened but could describe the horror of the aftermath.... as they go back to the studio where they have found someone who is an “expert” to give an informed opinion about something that we have no information about.

Spare a thought at this time to think about Sports stations such as Sky .... who have 9 TV stations for live sport.....when there is .... no live sport to bring.

We can talk about when sport will come back, if it should come back, why sport is irrelevant at this time, what elite sportspeople are doing to stay fit and ready for sport when it returns......
.....let’s listen to sports people who have no sport to talk about talk about the Corona virus ..... and it’s effect on sport.

Channel flicking ...... the NHS have no PPE........ footballers who are not working are unwilling to give up part of their £350,000 a week to .....  teams should go in for Harry Kane but it will cost £200,000,000.....

A  99 year old man can raise over £20miion by walking round his garden. There’s a sport that is worth watching.
