Bish bash bosh, it's the weekend and doesn't time fly when TV actually makes an effort? We've had some fantastic documentaries from a variety channels which is a refreshing change from the usual churned out nonsense. So, we can assume that the weekend offering will be significantly better than usual then yes? Haha, no of course not you optimistic fool.
We start at 7pm on BBC 1 with The Voice. After seven weeks of blind auditions in which no one was trapdoored, two battle rounds with no bloodshed and two knockout rounds where everyone except me stayed conscious, the live final is finally upon us. There's four contestants left with it all still to play for, and by all I mean a recording contract. Sex bomb, Sam.I.Am, Madge and Ruby are all on fine form watching the contestants sing their hearts out. Not literally, that'd be too much to ask of a show that's on for two hours.
At the same time over on ITV we see the end of another televised car crash as Ant & Dec's Night Takeaway breaths it's last and slips into oblivion. Tonight the boys are promising to go out with a bang and even King of meh Robbie Williams will be joining in, hopefully this time around they'll stay confined the Morrisons ads. Don't bet on it though eh?
As the evening wears on the programming dissolves into a sort of tapas selection of the irrelevant. There's Grand Prix highlights on ITV at 9pm but the real icing on the cake of nothing is Channel 5's Most Shocking Moments in Pop at 9pm. Here's a summary, Kanye West at the VMA's, Justin Bieber peeing in a bucket and Miley Cyrus also at the VMA's. If that doesn't kill your whole world view of music and this generation in general I don't what will.
