Gotta agree.... it's very distastefull and I'm no prude.... but I'm afraid television has plummeted to it's lowest depths....

I happened accross the eustace Bros, last time it was on.
(the one where they tried nicking the floor boards inside a firing range).
I very rarely watch tv but this was something fresh, quite liked it and watched it to the end.

Was it the first in the series?

Thumbs down

I actually watched "Time Gentlemen Please" last night on Paramount, while I was waiting for Sergeant Plod to phone me back...........:
Probably the worst so-called comedy I've ever sat through:

Unhappy

The real difference between the funeral programe and the Eustace Bros is it costs around £ 2500.00 per minute to produce drama and around £ 1000.00 that to produce crummy docusoaps (as a rule of thumb).
It's all about money, not what viewers necessarily want. Although some people will watch Big Brother or Fame Academy or I used to be a Celebrity.... for hours or days at a time so no wonder the broadcasters think they can put any old sh*t on and we will watch it like zombies

Have you seen how many times BBC are showing the Vicar of Dibley and or Only Fools during the course of a week, yes, they are good comedys and well made but they repeat them to death. It is a lot cheaper to roll out repeats than it is to make new of course.

The problem is the BBC and others are run by bean counters rather than creatives and ideas people so this is what you get!
