I would like nothing more than to see Nigel deported to Rwanda along with Suella and Priti (Reality tv show) but I am capable of critical thinking.

I have watched the show and been listening to it whilst doing other things and I can say that ITV have done a hatchet job on him. He is not getting the trials now after doing the first 1-2. They caught him telling another contestant that "trials are 25% of airtime" so the audience or maybe just the producers saw it was his gameplan to get maximum exposure.

Then the two debates they have screened where he starts promoting his ideology, he has been made to look stupid. Nella of Congolese origin and Fred exposed him as nothing more than a bigot who uses immigration to stir up hatred against people like them.

Screenwashing is not working out for Nige. Twice we have been exposed to his naked body on the live tv show. The visual memory of Farage bum is forever etched on peoples brains and it is nausea inducing. His poll ratings will never recover after flaunting his naked body on the UKs most watched entertainment programme. Congratulations to ITV. They laid out a trap and Nige has taken the bait.

Geert Wilders result has shown that Europe is not 100% solid. UK needs to encourage Netherlands and other nations to leave the EU and form a new trading bloc free of political control by Brussels. That would really boost the UK economy and this SP.

Oh and most read story on BBC news is Farage being grilled by Nella on last nights I'm a celebrity so the show is getting noticed even if the figures are not as high as last year.

The SP falls after every results.

ITV need more collaboration. Sharing costs. Bring in the likes of Sony and MGM as they have done on the Winter King. Make shows for their audiences that they pay for and then get the content for free to put up on ITVX.

I want to see more content on ITVX and more viewers and viewing hours. Figures that match the promises that were made when the large investment was announced and nobody believed the hype.

Thank you Winnie. I support free speech but I am more Channel 4 than GB news. Guardian reader and labour voter (just not Corbyn).

Can we do Israel Palestine next? Which side do the people of low intelliegence support there?

Dear oh dear. Janus is trying to make this about race? I see he belongs to the Mel Gibson school of film and history. Any manipulation of facts and original script is okay as long as it serves your political message.

I would prefer that historical dramas try to stick closer to the source materials be they history or the original books. Fictional license will lead to people coming to the source material for the first time believing that there were black men in Celtic Britain.

Janus why not combine Arthur with Boudicca if you care little for detail? We could just have Queen Angharrad, and she would lead the Iceni to attack Anglo Saxons from the Welsh mountains. Nobody cares about accuracy as long as you promote diversity. No Welsh speaking or Celtic. Only US actress as that will sit right with the US networks.

To be expected. Janus is always first on my threads.

I just loathe dumbed down historical films and dramas. Saw Napoleon today. Too short. Too much missed detail but maybe it brings people to French history. Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix made a much better film in Gladiator by just creating a piece of fantasy. Napoleon 1789-1821 is impossible to condense into 3 hours. Siege of Toulon, Austerlitz and Waterloo were worth the ticket price.

So this is already out in the US. Coming to ITVX for Christmas..... It could have been good but reviews from US says it deviates too much from original book and in true ITV style it introduces black and asian characters when in 5th century Britain they would have been very rare. Merlin is now a black man. Article states it is a revisionist take.

Looks like a missed opportunity

Well yes Jed. It reflects on the competence of the Board and senior management. How far they are prepared to let standards slide and ignore their mates indiscretions will carry over into how they run as the business as a whole.

Getting summoned before the select committee. Lying and Ballshifting to Parliament. It all reflects badly. We have a Board and senior executives who fail to pick up on serious problems within their workforce. Who then fail to act. Who lie to the regulators and still expect to carry on and collect salaries that are above most FTSE100 pay packages.

Arrogant board who care nothing for their Shareholders or their employees.

None of you picked up on the news update a week ago????

Some big profile This Morning employee had an "inappropriate relationship with a contestant. A producer quit alleging toxic culture. 2nd internal probe launched.

So the inquiry seems to have branched out into further wrong doings. More payouts to "victims". More oversight by the BoD. Yet more time needed and more communications open to scrutiny.

Will it ever end? How much scandal is lurking beneath the surface.

ITV might never choose to publish. Too damning and leaves them wide open to compensation claims from multiple victims.

Viewing figures are in.

Biggest launch on any channel this year exlcuding sports events.

Peak audience of 10.3million. 9.1 million viewers watching the show.

Up by 1 million on last years launch. Biggest 16-34 audience of the year.

10% in one week. Nothing unexpected in the results. We all factored in the decreasing ad sales balanced out by the increase in studio income.

I would have laughed last Friday if someone had said we would get a fall this dramatic on barely no news.

I am too busy topping myself to top up yet again for the 1000th time.

I said this would hit 60p before it reached 80p. Then I went and bought at 70p and again at 66p just to get some measly dividend......

The only people who make money out of ITV are the Board who cash their shares in at the first opportunity.

Now this is the kind of reality show I want. Politicians who are despised but are desperate for public approval.

Hopefully Priti Patel and Suella Braverman can do a game show where they get dropped in Rwanda and are left to survive on nothing. The winner gets their British passport back at the end.

For political balance we need the anti semitic left of Corbyn, Dianne Abbott and Owen Jones sent to live in the occupied West Bank in a Palestinian village next to Israeli settlers. They get to be human shields against settler incursions.

Try watching interviews with Carolyn McCall. At the Full year results and in the interview I posted yesterday she talks alot about Planet V. AI software that sits in the background on ITVX and targets the correct advertisers and marketing for individuals and audiences for certain shows. That is where ITV will start to create value. By going to retailers and vendors and showing them how AI tools behind their platform can send more customers to their websites and stores.

No more carpet bombing all audiences with adverts for products they do not buy. Precision guides stealth strikes at the key targets for every product.

As a holder and someone who dislikes the current Board can I say that I welcome criticism and all views on this forum. Never let this Board think they can get away with a sub £1.50 share price. Keep on being vocal. I am sure this board is watched by ITV employees to guage share holder sentiment. Keep on reminding them that they have more than halved the value of this company and in any other walk of life that would see them issued with their p45s.

Jed is just a loveable old git who needs to get out more.

Woke rubbish? Did you forget the kids tv show Rainbow which ran from the 70s to 90s? That was preaching marxist, hippy, polyamorous and gai lifestyle choices to children for generations. The theme tune with a rainbow would be too much these days. Then Bungle, zippy and George sharing a bed. Rod Jane and Freddy and in real life Jane married both Rod and Freddy.

TV has cleaned up. Childrens ITV was pumping out messages of love and debauchery at one time.
