I Demand A Recount

TV Viewers in Britain were invited to phone the channel 4 studios and vote on what they thought was the worst moment in the history of television . The countdown was as much as you`d expect , former Northern Ireland minister Dr Mo Mowlam fettering about with a sex aid on SO GRAHAM NORTON , those pesky middle class kids from WHY DON`T YOU , those very badly dubbed shows that used to appear on Saturday morning BBC childrens television in the 1970s and of course the recasting of different actors on soap operas . But according to voters the worst moment in the history of television was Richard Madeley doing an impression of Ali G on THIS MORNING !!!!!!! Aww come on guys I know you could fill this type of show with Richard Madeley clips - And he also came in fourth position with an interview with Shakin` Stevens - but to say that this is the worst thing you`ve ever seen is going too far

It might seem ironic considering the subject matter but I was very irritated by the presence of Kate Thornton in many of the interviews . Ms Thornton couldn`t have been much older than 25 when this show was broadcast and was perplexed about her opinions of 321 considering it was first broadcast in the mid 70s when Ms Thornton was born and finished about 10 years later when she wouldn`t have even been a teenager
