BBC points of view

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Anyone else remember the BBC show points of view? The show for the perennially irritated to vent petty frustrations about TV shows. Absolutely brilliant stuff, some of the whinges contained here are outstanding examples of cryarsing over nothing:



They'd all be on Twitter these days, spewing bile about stuff that doesn't matter and winding each other up.

Do they still feature people who voice their viewpoint, literally, via recorded messages?
I'd be mortified if I was contacted to do that, my opinion wouldn't matter as much at all on reflection!
It takes a particular type of grump to go to those lengths, about a TV programme of all things.

Takes one to know one I suppose

I'm frankly astounded by them, at first. Then, in a rare moment of self-awareness, I reflect on how any of my Everton related moans on here come across to outsiders ?.

The English being self entitled petty moaning lizards is what they do best.

Supplanted by Twitter I'm afraid

PoV was from a time when hand written letters, good grammar and punctuation was required to get noticed. Opinions were expressed in a forthright but polite and constructive manner.

Well sort of, they have a thing called news watch. Its only like a 10 min thing mostly on the BBC news channel and its a bit like points of view, its quite funny sometimes.

Dear Anne,

I am writing to express my shock and alarm at the standard of argument that WA Toffee has expressed in reaction to my post. Rather than a polite and constructive criticism that can act as the starting point for a mutually beneficial dialogue, it reduces the conflict to destructive point-scoring and name calling.


It's my belief that an enlightened society is built upon reasoned and healthy debate, and one should never feel threatened to express their opinion due to fear of social pressure from any group or individual.

I will continue to believe the Pen is mightier than the Flame, and hope that my opinion are preserved in the archive for posterity no matter what the fad of the day may be.

Yours faithfully,

evilwebby

Why do you have 2 spaces after the first paragraph?
And if you address the person by name, it should then be sincerely, not faithfully.

No wonder the show got canned ?

I'd always watch.

I think between PoV and the old fella that sat one row behind me in the mid 80s that really fuelled my interest in the benefits of a good old moan.
