Grumpy Old Woman alert

Turn the radio off?
I do, every time Nick Robinson or Anna Soubry speaks.

Vox pops, or sing pops, are also cheap and tv producers have to think of that as well.

Having worked in TV, I know for sure that "making a fool of themselves" is gold to any producer. Look at all the shows which use it.

schadenfreude like sex, sells.

We had a lovely sing along today at our 50+ coffee group....there was a Ukalilee band. Thoroughly enjoyed today .

Esther Ranzen use to go out onto the streets and ask silly questions, in the 70’s

It makes me thankful I do not listen to local radio!

What is the theme tune to ET? I've seen it several times and can't think of one! Not that I'd sing it though - I get so embarrassed at even watching things going on in the street so would be hurrying past with my head down

I can't see anything wrong with it . Sounds like a bit of fun. You can always turn the radio off if it bothers you.

Oh to have the confidence to sing in the street and not care what people think! I agree Mapleleaf it's just for fun.

My radio can be switched off if there's something I don't like!

Oh dear, I must check before posting - I missed the space there!

theantics.

I suppose it’s harmless, and a bit of a lift from all the horrible things going on. I must admit, though, that I do groan a bit at some of antics, but it really is just for fun. I wouldn’t do it myself, but if others want to and enjoy themselves, all well and good. ?

With all the sad news about the World I would say its a good thing and encourages people to enjoy themselves.

The sad thing is that people are so willing to comply. I guess it's just a sign of the times. Whatever that means.

Or maybe it's not so sad at all. They are happy.

I guess they don't actually force people? So maybe it's just a bit of fun.
