P.O.S.D.

I think a good chunk of the population on this little island of ours, because in the great global scheme of the Olympics, we are a little island, will soon be suffering from POSD, or Post Olympics Stress Disorder.

No Cheering to do.
No sitting on edge of seats willing Team GB on to a medal ( or in my case Team GB or an underdog)
Missing out on listening to experts, making the most of live coverage * see below

Because what will hit us is the fact that TV in the main is absolute tosh of the highest degree. Documentaries, proper dramas etc are excepted

But soon we will have crap like the One Show, EastEndEmerdaleStreetCity Hospital etc you get the idea.  Not forgetting cheap programs like banal consumer affair stuff, chasing dodgy traders down the street. And don't get me started on "talent" shows.

Don't you think that the Olympics coverage has highlighted these pithy vapid brain numbing programs for what they are? 

The BBC is a mixed blessing at times, pumping out what they think people want, (largely crap) and then you get a Wallander, David Attenborough Planet Earth, Horizon, Twenty Twelve, etc Some sheer genius, direction, camerawork, acting which is world leading.  Combined in the same evening as East bloody Enders.

Not sure what kind of events are coming up that are going to stir up this national pride we seem to have at the moment, but something better think of something quick so we can take advantage of it. It's lifted everyone, it really has.

* BBC Olympic coverage was partly ruined by that absolute condescending moron John Inverdale, a presenter of catastrophically bad proportions. I could write an entire blog post just on him. Get him off. Oh and Jake 'lets dumb it down' Humpheys.
