The main BBC TV channel was showing the London Marathon
live at lunchtime.
I don’t understand this. I can well understand why somebody
would want to take part, but I don’t see what’s entertaining about watching a load
of people jogging along a street. I wonder whether TV has become so entrenched
in the national mentality that a fundamental presumption applies:
If it’s on the TV it
must be entertaining, so I’ll watch it and convince myself I’m being
entertained.
Is that it, or is it me? Does my bafflement simply indicate some deficiency on my part? Do feel free to offer an opinion.
