Some of my old favourite programmes weren't worth watching under Covid rules - some others were much improved.
My personal list:
Improved:-
BBC's Springwatch - I thought the new format was a definite improvement, with Chris Packham's stepdaughter being a TV star! This programme definitely seemed enhanced by having physical distance between the separate camera crews.
The Repair Shop - I really enjoyed this, and the magic it gave to ordinary people when their heirlooms were made whole again.
No longer worth watching:
Neither of the late night newspaper review programmes held any attraction for me. Both the BBC's & Sky News programmes seemed to have lost all of their magic. I used to enjoy the repartee, but where was it with the protagonists in isolated rooms in their homes? Sometimes the technology worked, but all too often it was obvious that the backroom technical teams are very necessary!
The daily Covid newscast was definitely a bad thing, and unfortunately allowed Nicola Sturgeon, and others, an uncritical platform.
Instead I discovered other channels, and learnt lots of useless info about drowned ships, Yellowstone, the Normans and many other dynasties, and How things are made.
Any other views?
