Social distancing on TV

Why are TV shows still persisting with this when

(a) no one else is bothering; and

(b) it’s not even government guidance any more?

nah, I love seeing Tories in the home offices.  So many flags.  And Grant Shapps had TWO ministerial red boxes behind him in shot last night. TWO!  Billy big balls!

Sky sports cricket and MOTD are two ludicrous examples. You know they spend all their time off air playing golf and socialising together as they admit it and yet they sit or stand apart.

The Beeb is like the worst kind of suck up prefect. Showing off at their resolution to toe the line whenever possible. 

I would say Sky is actually far worse.

I was thinking about this , it’s very bizarre. It just keeps the pandemic front and centre of millions of people about how dangerous this is supposedly .

the table used by the GMB presenters is longer than a house and looks utterly ridiculous.

Because we are in a global pandemic.

People are hiding at home under their beds, screaming in fear of covid. Social distancing is a tribute to such people. Or something like that. Chill will explain. 

It’s everywhere and does my head in:

Someone interviewing someone else as they walk along on opposite sides of the road.

Fiona Bruce with a massive 2m boom mike getting someone’s opinion on the value of something on Antiques Roadshow, lest she gets too close in the open air and breathes Covid everywhere.

Panel shows where panelists are separated by 2m and a plastic screen.

It’s all just become so ridiculous.

 

If only I’d figured out sooner that 50% of the U.K. are masochistic subs/slaves who love wearing gimp balls/masks my career would have taken a completely different direction…

I'm watching the new series of location, location, location where the presenters are making ridiculous attempts to distance from each other and the buyers.

Poor Phil didn't get the memo , he quite naturally keeps making a hash of it. The editor must have got bored with editing his fook ups out. it looks utterly ridiculous

When do you reckon this will end? The Marr show is still continuing to do it. Also I was thinking about the perspex screens in supermarkets, they still have them. I wonder if this will be permanent.

The pandemic made me realise how much the BBC wastes on shipping people to random places to do interview people when they can perfectly reasonably interview them remotely.  I still don’t understand why their political correspondents had to travel in and stand on a rooftop in Westminster to do a solo spiel to a camera.
