If It Wasn`t For These Pesky Middle Class Kids
3 February 2003
Ah yes I remember this show from my childhood - THAT`S BECAUSE I DETESTED THE CHILD PRESENTERS ON IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Contrary to what other reviewers have said about WDY? it most certainly does NOT give children all over the United Kingdom the chance to host the show because it`s obvious that the kids were either members of a prestigous stage school or at the very least middle class kids who would spend their time at school grassing up their class mates . You know the type I`m talking about: " Miss ! Miss ! ( Insert your own name here ) swore Miss . Miss ! Miss ! ( Insert your own name here )is chewing gum Miss " . Children from council estates - The projects I believe Americans call them - were obviously excluded from this show which meant I had no empathy for it . Let me elaborate , The full title is actually WHY DON`T YOU TURN OFF YOUR TELEVISION AND DO SOMETHING LESS BORING INSTEAD ( And let`s ignore the gut wrenching hypocrisy of the title ) so let`s see what`s the only thing more interesting to a child living in a run down council estate than watching television ? Let`s see now , football ? possibly , setting fire to the local primary school ? Good call . But no , the children on WDY? seem to think making things out of sticky back plastic and old egg boxes is great fun . What sort of people did they grow up to be for crying out loud ?????????
