Not enough parking outside of Morrisons and the Church. You know how crowded both these places can be!

I would assume a Fat Controller listened to the arguments of the Thin Controllers and made a decision based on their vast experience and knowledge of what both the majority, and the minority of the audience wanted. I have nothing against repeated programs and whatever size of team is required to schedule these programs. What I would like to have is a Fat Controller that understands that it is only full programs that need repeating, some people may not have a method of 'catch-up TV' and we have to agree it would be extremely costly to to only show new stuff. I want a Fat Controller that educates the teams :- 1. the news reporter on the ground does not have to start their report with the same lines the news reader has just used and then stammer and splutter out two minutes of totally useless dribble cos there is no news to tell. Especially in tragedies when rescue operations are under way and trying to save lives. Leave the peple at the incident to get on with what they are there for and fully report on the story when everything is under control and some facts are known. 2. Pay off 90% of sports reporters and so called 'experts'. For example, the F.A Cup Final. Have one person in the studio introducing the scene we are about to see e.g. a camera watching the fans stream to Wembley and enjoying the day. DON'T pay someone to stick a microphone under a fans nose and ask stupid questions. DON'T pay a team of so called experts to tell us a) how each team got to Wembley, b ) what each team must do to win the cup c) don't pay a squad of ex footballers or managers wads of cash to analyze the game in hindsight. c) have one person commentating - 1964 Kenneth Wolstenholme on the early Match of the Day told the fans all they needed to know not a load of drivel. The microphone was never past across to another highly paid expert to repeat the commentary. (Don't mind paying for extra camera men so moves etc. from different angles can be shown allowing the viewer to work out what happened.). Scrap the after event analysis - stop paying worn out footballers that can't find a proper job, and failed ex managers to analyse what went wrong and what should have happened if the players, in 'Real-Time' had of just taken a moment to freeze play and work out all the options and then make the best play. In every sport if the commentator is a highly paid expert why do they need someone else to back them up. If they are all such experts how come they disagree with each other. Sack the majority and save a fortune. I could go on, but I would just be repeating myself! We need a Fat Controller to sack sports experts and then when they are all put out to grass and wander round Liverpool saying 'Gis a job, have you seen Yosser Hughes'.
