Channel 4 self-delusional

cornishmanc's picture

Just listened to the head of Channel 4, Julian Bellamy on Simon Mayo's show.

What a smug, patronising, self-regarding arse he is; just like his chairman Luke Johnson. He had the brass neck (not brass eye, sadly) to slag off the other channels for a lack of creativity and ambition. What, like come dine with me, location location, celebrity cooks by the dozen and Noel Edmonds?

and years and years and years

of Big Brother. At once innovative, now dead in the water. At least they've had to sense to recognise that.

Apparently Noel's off

He's allegedly taking DOND to BBC or Sky - one down... ;o)

Some years back, Luke Johnson was running Belgo

and he took part in one of those 'the boss goes back to the shop floor' TV shows. He stormed out after a couple of hours being a waiter.

To be honest that is the only time I have seen him in the "flesh" televisually speaking. The worst kind of arriviste nouveau riche.

I fear we will never again see the likes of David Plowright at Granada and Jeremy Isaacs at C4

Luke Johnson

is a bad egg. He is just a real life Larry the Liquidator.

Bad Egg!

Brilliant comment! A beautiful turn of phrase Salty if I may say so.
The English language is so beautifully rich - especially in pejorative description - so much said with just a pithy put down!
