Just watched Jasper Carrot on the old iPlayer... His new show after 13 years away from the Beeb...

Don't bother... Wankah:

Bad as his material is, 13 years wasn't long enough for me to forget it.  noooo:

Quite.

Funniest thing I've seen for a while, the One Show tonight.  Excellent piece on concrete and bridge structures.  The jelly shaking had me in fits.  ;D

I just watched Horizon about The Earth's core...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0148vph/Horizon_20112012_The_Core/

What utter dumbed-down shite!  cussing:

Contained loads of repeated graphics, loads of stuff not relevant to the show and at 50 minutes a repeat of the start of the show (and the point of it) in case you had forgotten...

Overall, no more than 30 minutes of science and 30 minutes of 'clever' camera shots, repeats and unrelated shite.

I remember when Horizon used to be a good, solid science programme...  noooo:

Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse "Gallopin' Gertie"

The guy on the bridge was trying to rescue the dog that was trapped in the abandoned car if I remember correctly...?
