Goodbye to the Queen of Mean?

So The Weakest Link is to finish?  Thank God for that!  Let's have something sensible on in the run-up to the Six O'Clock News on BBC 1.  And yet it started as a reasonably good straightforward quiz show with a bit of a twist - but very quickly the powers-that-be decided that it needed spicing up (or dumbing-down, depending on your point of view) and Anne Robinson was told to start being rude and belittling to the contestants and from that moment, I lost all interest in it.  So for the best part of ten years I have had to work round it in the late afternoon while waiting for the news.  However I've just realised that it's not actually finishing 'til next Spring, so I've got some time to suffer yet!
