HAVING BEEN SICK for a week, I have availed myself of British TV. That so much money and talent has resulted in this dated drivel is shocking. Striking in particular are the number of EggHead Quiz shows. These super bright people are foraging in a Compendululum of Useless Information (with immense skill) rather than being challenged about what New Life Forms for the planet, how to mine gold without arsenic, and a million useful forward-looking questions. “Under the brown fog of a winter dawn, A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many, I had not thought death had undone so many.” TSE
