It didn't quite cut it, no. Call me picky, but when I turned that particular page, the response was more, "AAAAAH!", than "Awwwww!" Close, but not quite close enough.

I found that picture to be mildly amusing! (And a damn sight more amusing that most of the rubbish on telly at the moment!)

We can't set the bar that low, now, 47Forteans. The scary squirrel was good, though. It's just he lacked the cute factor.

The bar for what's on tv at the moment couldn't be set any lower. Most of what's on involves weight loss/renovations/cooking/"talent" quests/boring people desperate for five minutes of fame sitting around in a house programmes. A squirrel (scary or otherwise) on tv would be an improvement!

Hmmm, should that be in the Whinge thread?

(Yes!)

No! You need to make a "Things we need on TV (instead of the rubbish that is)" thread. Wink I can't wait for David Attenborough's Scary Squirrels in HD.
