How are the numbers now? Prime seem to have most of the (admittedly very few) shows I actually watch.

(Although my favourite pun of this kind is in the wartime bugs bunny cartoon in which he falls off a plane and saves himself by taking a tonic against the falling hare.)
I always liked "I dream of Jeannie, she's a light brown hare."

Heh. I'm being a bit hard on both of them - here's Braunias' piece on Shaw.

Some of you probably know Andrew Shaw, I don't, but I've long held the opinion that as a TV programmer, he is/was about as divorced & distant from his audience as it was possible to get.
Also, I read a piece on him by Steve Braunias in which Shaw seemed to be described as about the wittiest person Braunias has ever known, on the strength of him telling someone publicly to "go fuck himself" or words to that effect.

We Should Heat Prisons With Power's Rhetoric (2006)</self-promotion>
And, by my reckoning, Simon Power would be renewable too - at least for the small investment in Bellamy's Bangers & Beans once a day.

Oh, and for the record, I''ve visited most prisons (worked for corrections for several years in the 90s).

(Given you seem so jealous of their "central heating", would you let them freeze to death? Which, really, is the only alternative. Unless you want individual bar-heaters and a blowout of the electrical bill.)
"Central heating"? A hot water pipe running through the concrete floor most likely - I asked a Corrections draughtsman once, why the underfloor heating, he told me that inmates turn anything not underground or otherwise out of reach, into weapons.

Whatever happened to Belinda Todd?
And was Melody Rules really that bad? I confess I didn't see any of it.
