The Amphitheatre
The Romans made a spectator sport of throwing Christians to lions. What have we got to rival that? Nothing?
No, in fact I happened to tune in to a programme called "Get Your Act Together". This is Harvey Goldsmith doing the entertainment equivalent of Kitchen Nightmares. This week he did The Big L (don't bother, the server is in meltdown) radio station. The people running it are obviously a bunch of muppets and it makes great entertainment (the station is losing £50k per month and nobody seems to think it matters) but the best bit was that after the main programme they have a debate on E4. They put the threee main muppets up against lots of people who know how to do radio and the result is total carnage.
