It is watched by as many as 18 million Brits, and many more world wide.
Her Majesty is supposed to be a fan. You are insulting a large number of people there old boy.
Some critics have rated it alongside Shakespeare.
I trust your prejudice is not caused by one of its storylines making you squirm in your seat. As Clare would have done had you seen her perform that cynical scene wearing a Christmas hat.
Or is it reverse snobbery? Does your attitude render you posh. Rather an easy way of being posh I should have thought. Much easier than learning how to express yourself more clearly and stylishly.
There may well be 18 million watching the same Spendi, that works out at almost 20% of the population. I rather think the figure falls in line satisfactorily on the percentage of idiots we are bound to be forced to entertain on a regular basis.
As for your utterly ridiculous remark that Her Majesty watches the programme, you must be reading too many copies of The Sun and Hanz Christian Anderson tales. Even the Queen can only laugh so much.
Shakespear, well yes, the meanderings one might consider on a par with Shakespeare in your book would be the Zimmerman chappie. What did I hear him say:-"Well yes everyone thinks theres a message, but I just sing the words that rhyme." You, and you alone could no doubt interpret that as another ploy from a genius.
I wouldn't be familiar with any story line either, thick boy, last time I watched it Ena Sharples was bollocking Len Fairclough when he was a young up and coming builder.
I thought you might have had better taste as well.
