All 3 

To be honest, I didn't even realise it was on

What's gone on with the bottom 4 numbers?

Tedious, lost it's sparkle, loads of charities and adverts all wanting your dosh.

Also on BBC 1, and maybe that reflects watching habits. Poorer quality programming and more alternatives. 

When it was one of very few all-night charity shows it grabbed a massive slice of the pie. Now just about everyone wants a slice of that same pie. Resulting in smaller slices.

Yep. Some cunt off the tele travelling to somewhere on a comfy plane and putting a stressed "difficult situation" face.. Followed by 10 mins of heart wrenching dramatic shit.

I see through it. I'd rather chuck a tenner at the piss can outside of the local aldi. 

He's getting the whole 10 quid. Chuck it to a big charity how much of your tenner makes it's way to the man on ground?

I never watch these things, the concept of millionaires asking me to donate what little money I've got is a bit galling.
