I would not assert that 'Question Time' can currently be filed under "Excreta" but I much preferred the programme in halcyon days when the likes of Robin Day and David Dimbleby were the presenters.

This is not a criticism of Fiona Bruce just the fact that the panellists of yesteryear did not include so called 'Alternative' comedians and 'Personalities' whose contributions do not add value to the programme.

Robin Day was the king of that programme.....Dimbleby, not as good but acceptable perhaps, coming from that talented family....But that T-Rex bint doing it now took it downhill on skis.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Fiona Bruce should be criticised, the program should be fronted by a proper journalist, not a presenter.

The excreta part is having panellists who are sports people or entertainers. FFS, Joey Barton, Gary Neville and Charlotte Church to name but a few.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

The TV News.

Too much of it.

There is only so much news to report on at any one time, but with so much airtime now given to it, you end up with every event being analysed to death, and an increasing amount of speculation as opposed to fact.

Also, the script given to newsreaders now has had an increasing amount adjectives added to the text, telling us how we should feel about news events.

Agreed they should rename The 9 o'clock News the 9 o'clock Opinions.

One more point
