Judging by the proliferation of these sorts of programs they must be bloody cheap to make. That said, who’s at home during the day to actually watch any of it?

@DF That would be the 7million people who aren’t at school or who have jobs.

Good point, Travis – amended.

Any doubt about who they are targeting will be removed by the nature of ads that run. I wonder what sort of things they’ll be selling, he asked rhetorically.

Dear Daily Edition Relating to your segment on the Man Drought. I have an amazing son who turns 34 next month. He has never Ben lucky in love and I would give anything to see him happy. He has the most amazing talents and is a very caring sensitive person who would hopefully someday make some lucky girl an amazing husband. He is finding the dating expectations of females these days so hard. He is doing an amazing job of renovating his own house. He worked as an Architect for 10 years in Sydney, Newcastle and England. On his return he decided he wanted to try something new and is back in his home town working very hard at an extremely versatile and varied job. He writes iPhone and android apps and still uses his Arcicad as well as tutoring others. Other than his Uni Degree he is self taught in most of his abilities. I have no idea how I was lucky enough to end up with such a wonderful talented son. He has many friends, loved by everyone and wonderful with kids often used by family members to entertain their children and friends at parties. He’s just terribly unlucky in love. He also plays the guitar. I would be so happy to see him find a wonderful young lady to make him happy. He is also nearly 6’4″. Caring mum
