I had/have no idea who she is.... and then I found it to be the most boring episode ever.

I lost the will to live somewhere and just stopped watching it.  That point occurred when she met some woman who explained something ... and I had NO idea what on earth she was saying, due to her accent - and the programme didn't then summarise it in English ... so I couldn't be 4rsed to continue watching any more.

We all have our "pet hates" - and this was one of them.

All I knew of the woman previously was the impression from a few chance sightings of programmes of a rather "talking down" popular science presenter, who I always felt was aiming at the "Yoof" market. It sounds as if she has a far richer hinterland than that.

I am disappointed in you. My husband (77) and I (71) have enjoyed Liz Bonnin's various programmes during the past few years.

However you are correct when you state that you continue to learn after normal education ends.

Are we the new "Yoof" then?

There is possibly a button for that on the remote, except I don't know which one it is and the letters are tiny and most are gone/rubbed off.  In any case .... I can't read sub-titles from where I sit as I sit 12' from the tiny portable telly .... so no chance of reading those.  If I'm REALLY interested in a programme that provides its own sub-titles, I go and crouch by the telly until they've finished (rare, but possible).

Stanleys, maybe you should be kind to yourself and get a new Tv for Christmas  ;) all that crouching near the set, cannot be doing your knees much good  ??? After all you pay the same licence fee whatever the state of your set........ :D

Modified after some thought :o
