If the ad on the back page of today’s Guardian is anything to go by, it looks like I’m going to be avoiding Channel 4 even more than usual for the next three months. Meanwhile on the other side, ITV are somehow stretching out a celebrity football match into a week long event. So I’ll be giving that a miss. Then there’s “Celebrity Love Island” which involves neither celebrities nor love.
I suggest doing one of the following instead:

• Watch the World Cup. And not just the England games. It’ll be good!
  
• Read the Aventis Prize winner – Electric Universe
  
• Enjoy the sun – we’re suffering a draught you know
  
• Go and see a decent film like United 93
  
• Watch a cult DVD boxset like Adam Adamant Lives! or the Andromeda Anthology
  
• Why don’t you switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?
