although Ben has already said it, Gladiators was ace......

Although in reality, by 1997 it was definitely on the down turn.

I think things were more family orientated 10 years ago.
I recently stopped workin Saturday evenings so have watched some TV with my 8yr old.
There is nothing that would keep he and i entertained at the same time on terrestrial tv. So we have to go to Sky and watch the simpsons or re-runs of things like Gladiators etc on challenge!
Even comic relief on Friday was targeted at an adult audience imo and im sure it never was.
Another theory is that we now have so much channel choice they are churning out shite!
And Brucy did The Generation Game before Jim, When was bullseye on - i think that was a Sunday and way before 1997!?

I agree, because everybody's spoiled by selection now. The big family variety shows no longer have any place. If I was a kid which had the choice of sitting and watching Noel's house party or watching whatever I wanted from the internet then I'd no what I'd choose.

TV Programs have been forced to specialise.

10 years ago you had the german channel.For that reason alone 1997 was better

Mincing on Ice was worth watching to crack one off over Holly Willoghby. I'd make a point of that Walrus.

That, for me, will be the post of the day. I'll be surprised if owt gets near it.
