Watch

Why does Watch appear to be run by illiterates?

I am bemused by the fact that the department that writes the captions and promotions for Watch, seem to know what a capital letter, or punctuation mark is for.
It is a constant source of irritation to me and just suggests that insulting the viewer's intelligence is perfectly acceptable. Even primary school children tend to be aware that "Richard and Judy" is correct rather than "richard and judy".

Is it just illiterate and uncaring staff or is the channel *intended* to be just for the brain dead?

how can you call it the 'brand new channel" when every thing is repeated from main stream tv - mainly bbc?

Being thick is all the rage these days.

The people doing the job that you refer to are probably pretty convinced that not enough people watch "Watch" for it to be an issue.
