And finally, it’s time for the turkeys. I haven’t included obviously “bad” TV, otherwise I’d be listing things like Avago Balls.
No, these are the things that have caused me the most annoyance or disappointment over the last 12 months:
Worst Music: Band Aid 20. Does anyone remember the real Band Aid sequel with Kylie and Jason and Sonya? Nah, didn't think so. Just give the money to charity and cut out the middle men, that’s what I say. That documentary about the making of the song made me want to straggle Joss Stone and spit on The Darkness. And as for the Dizzy Rascal rap; words fail me. Close behind is that Ice T track about anal sex. At least that’s what I think it’s about. I have to listen to this at 8am in my car with my teenage daughter and it's beginning to piss me off. Oh, and that bloody annoying Call On Me dross. Good video, though.
Worst Advert: I don't care if it is carefully crafted postmodernism, the Michael Winner "I'm Not Your Sister" insurance ad rankles me so much I think I might need professional help.
Worst film: Van Helstink
Worst DVD: The Return of the Jedi. Why make a bad film even worse? “Wesa free?” The stupid idea of sticking Hayden’s body at the end which just throws up loads of really stupid problems (be good and go arthritic or be evil and enjoy the afterlife). You can’t polish a turd, George.
Worst TV Drama: The Grid. If only terrorists had brought the National Grid down when this garbage was on.
Worst TV Comedy: Friends. I’m glad it’s finally over.
Worst TV Factual: Paul Burrell: In His Own Words. It’s just a shame that he didn’t use somebody else’s words, I might not have laughed quite so hard.
And finally to the worst thing EVER that surfaced in 2004: that Crazy Frog ring tone thing. You know, that horrible sound of a constipated frog doing an impression of a motorbike revving up. If I could kill the person responsible and get away with it, they'd be some serious soul searching going on tonight...
