Thought for the Day: Destination Three on BBC3…

When BBC Three started two years ago, controller Stuart Murphy (right)claimed ina live chatthat the channel wouldn’t mimic any other. However, this week, the smugcontroller has introduced a new late-night strand which only lasts for an houror two each weeknight, Destination Three, which has the standard farelinked by complete idiots that make Channel 4’s T4 strand lookintelligent, and its presents look intellectual.

Earlier this week, the token female Asian presenter encouraged us all totext in pictures of ourselves by giving the number and enthusing, “Text ‘ME’,that’s M.E… (laughs) Not the disease!!“, etc.

Stuart Murphy – are you proud of this crap? I’ve seen boybands talk moresense!

God knows what the BBC are paying you, but with the additional logos on BBC3(“Carnival”?, “Sunday Best”?), other than the main channel logo, at present,are you trying to drive away all your viewers in a bid to win those with thebrains to solely watch something on the level of CBBC?

How long can Stuart Murphy, the man everyone at the BBC hates, continuethis reign of nonsense?
