Actually, he IS right. I didn`t see the programme, but I was only thinking a few days ago when I went for my lottery ticket and saw the `big purple one` by the tills - sweets that used to be a treat in a tin of Quality Street or something. WHY? All that does is spoil the fun of rummaging for the normal-size purple one...
We have to have Glut, there`s no subtlety in marketing anymore.

True. That happened quite a few years ago, though, didn`t it?

Yes Ben Elton spoke about those Massive Chocs at Tills.

He also stated when he was doing his show 20 years ago
it was a Tory Power with Loads of Sleaze
And Now New Labour - just the same.


I hope this show returns full time
with Ben Elton featured when he can fit it in.


Bon Jovi was the Outsatnding Rock Band performing.

I hope ITV
who are much better than the Over Priced BBC
bring this show back.

Shown after 9PM with full Swearing within jokes.
I mean , it is Saturday Night after all.

We're all doomed!
