he was on the culture show last year....and they have him down as saying.....'fuck the average viewer'.........but he actually said....'fuck the casual viewer'.....quite a distinction.....i've read their version like three times now.....it's wrong,wrong,wrong.

anyway......this from the guardian piece on how we should appreciate a wider range of telly, not just the wire....

''I wonder whether we are capable of having a debate about popular drama that includes other shows - shows that reach a broader audience and includes a wider part of the creative community - or whether the media will remain obsessed with Mad Men, 30 Rock and The Wire''

those other shows include my family and not going out.

case closed.
