Coming Soon to a TV Near You…America!

Okay, so I shouldn’t be surprised by this at all, but it seems that our good ol’ British telly is becoming more and more American. Like, totally! The word “series” is now becoming “season”…ad breaks appear even though what you’re watching has barely started…end credits get minimised so we can watch a preview of another programme EVEN THOUGH THE ONE WE’RE WATCHING HASN’T EVEN FINISHED YET!

Ahem. What I was most annoyed about, however, was an advert for an upcoming Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares – specifically, that it was labelled “All New”. As in, not one of those boring episodes where they show you 50 minutes of old footage, and then add on a 10-minute “update” at the end. Can we not just have a full season…sorry, series…of episodes that are all brand new? I’m sorry if Mr Ramsay couldn’t schedule much filming in a particular month, but I’d rather see no episode than a rehash of a boring old one!

Anyways, here’s Gordon doing what he does best. No, not cooking! It’s being rude to a chef!
