It would appear that Betty White remains alive :

Betty Marion White Ludden (n?e White; born January 17, 1922)[2] is an American actress and comedian, with the longest television career of any entertainer, spanning more than 80 years.

Regarded as a pioneer of television, she was one of the first women to exert control both in front of and behind the camera and is recognized as the first woman to produce a sitcom (Life with Elizabeth), which contributed to her receiving the honorary title Mayor of Hollywood in 1955.

I do hate it when programmes are re-hashed.  Today's 'Repair Shop' is repeats  :( repackaged  >:(

Monica and Giles were in Macau this evening at the MGM Hotel  :o.  No way Jose would I even consider renting a room THAT HIGH  :o  :-X.  Too lavish for me. And such dull colours in the suites ............. however the Rhiad area hidden within the Hotel confines would suit better  ;D

Where the Art Is - BBC in the afternoon is very moving.  There are some talented people across the UK - some of the art work I could live with!

"Down on the Farm" was good but I swapped for the above  ::)

Tv is never great at this time of the year, but this year it’s a lot worse. Next year probably won’t be great either. 
Netflix is worth every penny.

I have no problem finding something to watch ..........

Homes Under the. Hammer
Bargain Hunt
Father Brown
Escape to the Country
Home is Where the Art is
Repair Shop

Turn over Channels to A Place in the Sun [Home or away]

Evenings are more difficult
The 1 Show has reverted to trying to put too much in - I feel a letter coming on  ;D

I watched the first series but found it was too much jeopardy  ;D but do LOVE George Clarke even though he's been married lots.  The OTT ideas that some have to improve property is great.

Don’t like those type of programmes much.   Don’t watch daytime TV, it’s the evenings really.  Not many decent programmes on, they are all repeats.

I'm really captivated with "home is where the art is" - BBC1 weekday afternoons.   There is some real talent in this country, often I pick the opposite to what the participants does but they often go back and buy the 2nd piece anyway  :-*
