Getting even worse with more and more clips taken from old TV cookery shows. I do enjoy the occasional wine recommendation though.

Here it is
“The hardest thing about leaving Soccer AM,” he says regretfully, “is the thought that I might no longer be influencing the game.” True, it’ll be tough. But who knows? Perhaps the game will struggle on.
First, it’s clear that being Tim Lovejoy requires a very special blend of arrogance and ignorance. When he’s not listing his media achievements with a breathtaking lack of guile, he’s sneering at those “sad” enough to take an interest in football history, revealing his utter cluelessness about life outside the Premier League (in a section called “Know Your Silverware”, he refers to “League Three”) and making sundry gaffes, major and minor. He names Johan Cruyff as his all-time favourite player, then admits he’s only seen that five-second World Cup clip of the Cruyff turn. Grumbling about footballers’ musical tastes, he complains that “all you’ll hear blasting out of the team dressing room is R&B, rather than what the rest of the country is listening to” – by which he means indie bands. Everywhere there are jaw-dropping illustrations of insularity, self-satisfaction and a startlingly small mind.

A lot of pastimes have been ruined by the desire for Cheap Telly.

Rimmer struggled to efficiently maintain chicken soup vending machines so why he’s got a cookery show on television I have no idea.

Sounds great to me, what more do you want?
I'm not a lover of Rick Stein and think he's stuck up his own backside. James Martin is a good watch especially if Brian Turner was on with him. It is sad to see BT in the way he is at the moment.
Yeah I know what you mean about Stein… has a habit of getting a book out and quoting some poetry in the middle of a shot. Yer a cook, mate.
