    If you could banish one thing forever what would it be? I'd banish reality TV. There's too many of them and they're taking the place of educational programming. TV stations that used to be about historical events are seemingly taken up by this nonsensical rubbish.

    I like spiders. If I ever find one crawling over me I just put them out the windows so they might survive instead of breathing in my second hand smoke.

    Nuclear weapons ,drones .chuggers ,i,m not giving my bank account info to some teen working for 9 euro an hour.

    Most of the programs are just american programs translated into irish.
    drug dealers .
    jeremy kyle show.You are only allowed on this show if you a thug or a chav or an idiot.
    shows like Jersey show. teen mom.
    Lets make a show about 16 year old women who don,t know how to use a condom.
    IF Reality tv disappeared itv,c4 would just show more cop drama,s .
    or american comedys /quiz shows .
    Theres plenty of documentarys on bbc or other channels .

    What TV stations are you referring to?

    I don't think the likes of the BBC, ITV or Channel 4 are that bad for reality TV these days. The majority of that stuff has shifted to various satellite channels that we never had years ago. There's a lot of talent shows, etc. but they've simply replaced the family game-shows and light entertainment of previous generations. Cookery shows and home-improvment stuff isn't really reality TV as such and have been a constant presence as long as I can remember. The X Factor has replaced ITV's Sunday night drama slots, which is a loss, but the BBC still lead with their dramatic productions every weekend.

    My main channels are the Beeb (especially Two & Four), Sky Arts, Sky Atlantic, a bit of RTE and some occasional Channel 4 docs. Plus there's always interesting bits and pieces scattered about. All of it good, worthwhile TV. Too much for me, actually. I usually end up deleting loads of it.

    If you can't find a couple of hours of interesting TV each day then you're probably not casting your net wide enough, and if you're not happy with 2-3 hours each day then you're watching way too much.

    No dignity at all.

    Bono and Turkish delight. The world would be a better place without both.

    Sleeveens.

    They come in different varieties and flavours. The silver-tongued ones who twist and deflect in the hope they can convincingly fool those around them.

    Then you have the quieter ones who stand in the corner like a tailor's dummy quietly making observations to use the information they have gathered at a later stage.

    All cut from the same cloth. All into the room they go.

    Can Room 101 be put into Room 101? Is it like a kangaroo jumping into its own pouch or would it break the fabric of reality like googling Google?

    I'd put UHT into Room 101, there's no demand for it because it's $hite.
