Nepotism on the telly

[Mottie]

What is it about telly these days - all that seems to be on lately is parent son acts. Bradley and Barney Walsh, Larry and George Lamb, Martin and Roman Kemp, Dick and James Strrawbridge, Romesh and Shanthi Ranganathan, Jack and Michael Whitehall...the list seems endless. Talk about nepotism...

I guess we should be grateful....Michael Portillo, Chris Tarrant, Tony Robinson et al are doing continental railway journeys.
Totally for our benefit, of course.

Watched the Tony Robinson one the other night, was hardly on the train, might as well have travelled by taxi

Romesh Ranganathan - can't stand this guy. Not funny and a bit racist.

Nish Kumar and a few others who use self-deprecating language about their race to try and get laughs. And there are one or two disabled 'comedians/comediennes' who try, by using their disability, to get laughs or give the impression the world should revolve around them.
What ever happened to good clean humour that you could sit and watch with your kids without feeling embarrassed?
