Would Shipmates care to suggest programmes suitable to be re=run, endlessly, on HellTV. Hint: In Hell, it will be impossible to turn the TV off. Content ia piped directly into one[s brain.

  • That should have been 'Infernal Viewing'. Heavenly Host, please correct
  • That's easy. FoxNews is Hell TV
  • Friends
  • I think it would have to be some kind of low budget Asian film with English overdubbing that was slightly out of sync with the video.

    Any of the video gamer youtube channels that mostly seem to consist of one or young men shouting rapidly, excitedly, and continuously at the microphone about what appears to be complete drivel.

    Certain internet content creators for toddlers produced with an eye for merchandising.
  • I nominate 'Mrs Brown's Boys'. Oh, and 'East Enders'. Enough misery there to last several eternities.
  • Also any programme with 'Celebrity' in the title.
  • Trump's rally speeches.

    This. Definitely.

  • Likewise for "America's Best" and "Idol".

    Deadenders - I mean, Eastenders. Any hospital soap (we call them all 'Horrible people in hospital'). Britain's Got (no) Talent. Any reality show.

    Alternatively, a TV adaptation of your favourite book that was badly adapted by someone with no respect for the source material, featuring woefully miscast actors (many of whom cannot act) and a really annoying soundtrack.

    Thinking about it... any viewing could become Hellish if you were forced to watch nothing else and denied the power to turn it off...
  • There was an adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Kidnapped' some years back, that substituted 'bouty hunters' for redcoats hunting Alan Breck, whether because the producers could not afford enough extras, or because they thought viewers would not understand the historical context I do not know, but anyway it rendered the story compltely meaningless.

    I'm surprised nobody has suggested GB News
  • That would invie trounle.
  • Invite.
  • Infomercials, all of them.
  • On further thought, perhaps any show involving the preparation, consumption or tasting of food and drink. These are completely pointless on 'live' TV anyway, until feely/smelly/tastyvision is deveoed. No doubt Elon Musk is working on that in his spare time. Think of the possibilities. (No, don't")

    That's because people would like to have hourly unbiased updates of the latest news

  • Endless gardening programs about what to do, nay, has to be done, in gardens. Pruning, mulching, digging,sifting, cutting back, composting, etc & etc .... but never, ever, resting and sitting under a tree with the cats reading a good book.
  • Definitely GB "News", with specials by Garage. And Eastenders with no plots ever getting resolved.

    And then any C5 "10 greatest anyfuckingthing".

    Occasionally interspersed, late at night, for the hard core, only the Gregg Wallace parts of Inside the Factory.
