Some washed-up old hack turns his back on the merry-go-round as though it were an act of redemption. "Save us" sings the populace and damns the judges where the height of entertainment is to find facetious fault and make a virtue of belittling people. SDC is in a long line from Dragon's Den and The Apprentice and Big Brother where the audience feels superior in the knowledge that someone has been taken down a peg or two. A number of fading careers are filled with a sort of ratings-helium until popular culture has arrived at a truly sorry state. Flagship? You must be joking! How about some real humiliation? Maybe the temptation of Cliff Richard or Bruce Forsyth runs for a bus or Sue Barker - The Sunday Roast? Now that would be worth the licence fee!
