But I sent it to their letters page because I'm heartily sick of the sneering attitude they take to Big Brother. Hardly a week goes by where one of their columnists or interviewees doesn't take a swipe at BB, so this is what i sent them, after yet another snidey rant by their chief reviewer:
OK, Alison Graham, we get it - you don't like Big Brother. Scarcely a week goes by without some dig or other, both at the show itself and at the intelligence of those who watch it. This week's offering (regarding final night) marvelled at how anyone might even remember it's still on, plus sneering references to the winner being 'crowned' before a 'baying mob'.
It's trendy to knock BB, with the laziest insults usually coming from people who have never watched it. It might interest Alison to know that the people she routinely slates as stupid, wannabes and freaks have this year included a medical student, a maths whiz from Oxford University and a journalist.
As a viewer since series one, I've constantly enjoyed seeing how people interact with each other and how their relationships develop under the spotlight. But I can't stand The Bill (10 years past it) or Mistresses (infantile pap), both of which received lavish praise in RT from Alison this week.
I also loathe X Factor (deemed worthy of a cover pic by RT), Strictly, I'm A Celebrity, Masterchef and all the CSI variants, but I wouldn't mock people who do, or call for such shows to be banned.
So, with only a couple of weeks remaining, would it be asking too much that those of us who DO enjoy big Brother might be allowed to check the listings without being sneered at?
