THE GOLDEN AGE OF TV: Stop getting all nostalgic about how great telly was in the 1970s. Back then, there were only three channels, programmes were broadcast in black and white and your TV screen was smaller than your PC monitor at work is now. And don't start moaning about how nowadays there is nothing on except repeats, reality shows, West End musical auditions, 'celebrity' promotothons or compilations of slapstick home videos. If that's all you can find in the viewing schedules you need to exercise your thumb on the remote control more often. Television in 2008 is a creative force worth celebrating. We love TV right here, right now
