BBC and Glastonbury

[AndyRM]

Won't be showing Kneecap though, which is a shame. Their live show is a riot.

 

[Drago]

They used to big up Jim'll Fix It, and look how that tale ended.

Big up by all means, but show so dignity and circumspection while doing so. As a public owned broadcaster they do have a knack for treadingnkn landmines that Channel 4, the other public owned broadcaster, seems to largely avoid.

I think it's excellent, relevant and the coverage is outstanding. I'm pleased that the BBC has the rights - I'm sure that different media organisations would pay more, but I suspect the Family Eavis prefer it that way.

 

[Beebo]

Broadcaster bigs up a thing that they have the rights to.

Utterly inexplicable.

Sky and football for instance.

It's a poor attempt to keep in with the kids who have turned to streaming and other worldly delights rather than the BBC.

Fortunately I don't pay for the coach loads of BBC types that descend on the festival every year.

Some of them get so animated they look like theyre fighting Bruce Lee.

”The YouTube dance” as it’s known here, “I’m going to show you how to remove a presta valve cap, (but dance and jiggle about like I really should have gone pee-pee first)”.

There was a period when it seemed like all the presenters had been sent to the same " Walk towards the camera speaking and making exaggerated hand / arm gestures to emphasise what you are saying " workshop. Once I'd noticed it I couldn't unsee it, and for a time I'd use it for comic effect when talking to Mrs Tkk 😁

It's the same with certain words and phrases, like 'Unique' (even when it's anything but), 'Innovative', 'Ground Breaking' and of course... 'Iconic'. Everything is 'Iconic' these days.

Oh and 'Chilling'
Also 'Near miss'... It's a near hit!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!

I'm sure I'll watch bits of the coverage this weekend, but not Rod (bloody) Stewart.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Oh and I've said this before, but

'Just'

"He was just 4"

"She was just 59"

What age are you?

Oh, I'm 'Just43'

What an utterly pointless word to prefix everything with!!

... And at what age do you stop being 'Just' anyway??

 

[Binky]

Well personally I'm very happy with coverage BBC provides of Glastonbury, there are certain groups and singers I'll watch out for but every year I'll find someone new I really like and doubt I would otherwise.

So, chapeau BBC I say
