Remember when Something For The Weekend was cancelled and there was a national celebration that, finally, Tim Lovejoy was taking his generally misogynistic squabblings and going the way of the dinosaur, or Linda Robson?
It was a good day from what we can remember of it. And then some clever clogs started saying that they were interested in taking the format and putting it on another channel. Those people were quickly reviled by anyone with a modicum of sense about them. You know who some of these people were? "Professor" Brian Cox and Lisa Faulkner.
Well, now it seems that Channel 4 are making good on their pledge to ruin television for anyone who likes to not be patronised and have announced a new show, called Sunday Brunch will be featuring the gruesome twosome of Rimmer and Lovejoy.
Can we just take a break to say that Sunday Brunch is an awful name? Who actually has brunch anymore? And especially on a Sunday. Sunday is all about having a big breakfast then having nothing else until your massive Sunday dinner, so from the offset, this programme is flawed.
Speaking to the World (who Lovejoy thinks adores him) the pair said
"We're chuffed to be joining Channel 4. We have a great laugh working together and we're very pleased we can continue that in our new home."
Sounds terrible doesn't it? You just know that while he was saying this he was pouring a cup of coffee that his assistant made him down the drain because it was three or four degrees too hot. He could've waited until it cooled down, but it's all about the statement with Tim Lovejoy. He wants everyone to know how great he is. And he does that by putting everyone else down. Unless you're a man, then it's banteriffic.
Dominic Bird, Channel 4's head of formats said this, while waiting for the antidote to the poison Lovejoy fed him.
"Simon and Tim have brilliant on-screen chemistry and their partnership will be the heart of Sunday Brunch. They're a great fit for Channel 4 and we can't wait to get going on the new show."
Instead of fannying around with this Sunday Brunch nonsense, why can't we have Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc do what they are destined to and do another series of Late Lunch? That's what the people want Dominic Bird.
Apparently Sunday Brunch is going to have a mix of celebrity guests, cookery, and 'wit, chat and banter', which is where we had to stop reading about it, because unlike Tim Lovejoy we can't create laptops out of our sense of selfworth, and we would have been laptop-less.
Tim Lovejoy is a horrible, horrible man. Worse than Hitler? Well, we wouldn't say that.
To his face.
