feeling listless

TV It seems the paucity of new drama on ITV is set to continue. It seems that although the channel has produced a number of dramas, they cannot afford to show them because once they're gone they're gone and there simply isn't the revenue to create new pieces. So it's just cheaper to show docusoaps and game shows than quality dramas. This accounts for the cheap feeling of the channel's output in the past six months. They're just beginning to realise that for the majority of people the BBC is the place to to be entertained, especially on a Sunday night were 'Born and Bred' and 'Auf Wiedersehen, Pet' (ironically an old ITV series) have destroyed the commercial channel's hold on Sunday nights. A few weeks ago I was hoaxing some work colleagues (none too successfully) that they might have to cut back the number of episodes of Coronation Street being shown per week due to lack of money. I might not have been too far from the truth.
