However, I am thoroughly irritated by the amount of TV coverage. There is almost 24 hours broadcast of this on BBC. On those channels not showing it, it is business as usual; tired soaps with their ridiculous storylines, game shows, cookery programmes and repeats. No effort has been made to broadcast anything other than the same, dull, unimaginative offering. Soon the footie will begin, and in the near future, the World Cup. I have free view TV with many channels, but still nothing to watch. Fortunately I enjoy reading and walking, and am not dependent on TV for leisure. I would quite happily get rid of my television, were it not for the fact that I use it to watch DVDs.
