>>but they do seem to have it in for Ant and not giving him a chance.
A friend of mine has bought many pubs over the years. He buys up spit & saw dust out of the way locals, smartens them up, puts food on the menus, doubles the prices, discourages groups of drinkers, takes out the dartboard and seeks the family crowd.
Without fail every "local" beer drinker is determend to "show them". "We won't be there, then they'll be sorry". Failing to understand that their 10 pints a week represent about £1.00 profit where as one gammon and chips represents £2.00 profit.
They never get it, they always lose.
This is similar.
These few Edd worshippers are determined that they will never watch it again, because that will teach them a lesson. They seem never to understand that they are a minority which is of no interest to the advertisers and therefore the television production companies, which brings no financial value to the show nor even significant viewership.
There is a reason it's one of the few such shows. And, sadly, part of a rapidly dying genre. There will never be more than there are now, only less.
I always thought Edd was ok, no better nor worse than any other competent television presenter. I marginally prefer Ant, but I'll watch either of them. Edd just didn't think that supporting and changing for the revenue desires of his production company was a priority. I hope he likes YouTube.
