To be fair, this is the BBC where nepotism is rife.

It’s an old boys club, not so much in terms of gender, but the amount of people who make it to the BBC who come from wealthy, connected and independent/privately educated backgrounds. Something like 7% of all people in the UK are privately educated, yet they make up a far higher proportion of BBC ‘talent’.

For a broadcasting service that is supposed to be representative of us - the people who watch and pay for it - it’s pretty disappointing to be honest.

It’s a massive and illogical leap to go from 3.2bn people watched at least some of the Premier League (so certainly not even a whole game and no guarantee it was a Man Utd game at that), and then deduce from that the majority of those people know about Man Utd, let alone support it financially (through ticket or merchandise purchases etc), which is what accrues such big value to these brands.

Moreover, albeit according to WWE themselves, their programming reaches over 1.2bn people a year worldwide.

I watched the first episode of it and just didn’t find it that interesting - Claudia was also very annoying to watch at times.

I’m from the UK, but honestly the US Survivor is probably some of the best reality type show I’ve seen (better than The Traitor). The scheming and strategy in Survivor can be second to none, though not every season is great - the current one is in my opinion. Apparently the Aus version of Survivor is even better/more brutal, so I’m looking to check that out too.
