Over the years I’ve become increasingly disappointed with the RBL FoR. We had visitors yesterday and when they left I turned the TV on to watch the FoR and was “greeted” with a shot of Jeff Goldblum playing piano and ballroom dancers, I had to check to make sure the Strictly Come Dancing nonsense hadn’t over run, no, it was the FoR. It was then a barrage of singers with one destroying Bridge Over Troubled Waters and others singing the hymns that should IMO only be sung by the audience and who thought the Lord’s Prayer needed to sung by a choir, should be locked up.
I didn’t quite understand why they got “actors” to do the Berlin story, when they had the pilot and a child who was there at time, at the FoR, who could have told the story and brought a better sense of it, they have “old boys & girls” telling their stories in person.
I think they need to go back to basics, bring the military back to the fore and stop making a low quality variety show. What has been a staple of our TV viewing for as long as I can remember will now not be.
