The South Bank Show — PD James

Ha, Sonic Youth pipped to the post by posh old crime writer.

― never understimate the power of soap (Billy Dods), Thursday, 8 October 2009 16:46 (fifteen years ago)

Thought this was PM listeners' poll for a minute and expected The Nazis - A Warning from a Great Bunch of Lads or something.

Inclined to vote Death on the Rock out of badness but will mull it over.

Weird list

― The Prince's choice: making a brush. (Tom D.), Thursday, 8 October 2009 16:55 (fifteen years ago)

Channel 4 News

^ definitely not this

― The Prince's choice: making a brush. (Tom D.), Thursday, 8 October 2009 16:56 (fifteen years ago)

For all its flaws Channel 4's 7 o'clock show is a million miles the best terrestrial news show, unless Newsnight counts.

But Jon Snow

I kinda like Snow, it's Krishnan Guru-Murthy tends to wind me up. Has Snow done bad shit I should be aware of?

I used to be a huge Morse stan, I could vote for that here.

(xp) I just find him to be utterly crap AND smug with it but, I have to admit, that's he's often unintentionally very funny

― The Prince's choice: making a brush. (Tom D.), Thursday, 8 October 2009 17:03 (fifteen years ago)

I can maybe see a bit of smug there, but the competition is BBC News Presented by Some Dudes Who Weren't Heavyweight Enough for Newsround.

Really tricky - have to wheedle it down - so out go
