Proud of the BBC Meme
Oct. 26th, 2010 01:02 pmBeen meaning to do this for a while and have finally finished it! If anyone hasn't seen it before, it's based on Mitch Benn's 'I'm Proud of the BBC' song and, the idea for the meme is that these are all the shows and people mentioned in the song. Mark the ones you love in bold, leave the ones you know in normal text and strike through the ones you’ve never even heard of.
I’m doing philmophlegm's revised version where if you’ve seen a programme and dislike it, you put it in italics. But only cos it makes it more interesting, not because I hate lots of BBC programs. I've italicised anything that I would turn off the TV rather than watch, but that doesn't mean I hate it so much I want it driven from the airwaves.
I reckon that given the number of programs listed and the diverse tastes of the British population, if the BBC hadnt' produced a goodly dollop of stuff that I don't like and would avoid watching, then it wouldn't be doing the job. I don't think the song is entirely about how great all the programs are - it's also about the shared experience and cultural effect...
Anyway, on to the meme!
