Apparently the unreleased energy contained in the average dustbin each year could provide enough power for 5000 hours of TV viewing (and probably supply enough content for the schedulers at BBC3 in perpetuity).
The principle of 'more is less' means that there is now a lot of rubbish on the telly - the lamentable remake of Reggie Perrin is just one example - but there is also quite a lot to celebrate and I think that the Bafta awards show the diversity of quality UK television. What is even more gratifying is that so much of it came from the commercial broadcasters.
From Harry Hill's TV Burp to Life in Cold Blood and ITV's News at Ten, the awards show that TV can entertain, educate and inform when it is at it's very best. It's just a shame that on-screen smoking is deemed as beyone the pale.
