Bad BITS

Dear Future Gamer

I caught the programme BITS. It was pretty awful, not the content mind you! Sure they came across as if they didn't know anything, but it was scripted by people who did. And we got those all-important video clips.

The presenters were obviously all women because the producers were trying to show that females are into gaming too. Gaming is unisex. Anyway, there was one good presenter, but picking a dire blonde haired woman who sounded swedish is hardly great casting. She wasn't even that good looking in a celebrity sense.

Anyway, for a computer show on terrestrial TV, of which there are very few, it's great. There's also CyberNet on Granada on about 3am (tape it) - I forget what days though. And don't laugh at the shoddy make-up department. Were you really interviewed for GamesMaster? I can't see it happening really.

FG: Love it or hate it, BITS is fulfilling a need. It may not be the greatest show on earth but at least it's something. And yes, I was screentested for GamesMaster but proved myself to be completely unsuitable for a family audience (cough).

Got an opinion or a question? Write to me at andy.smith@futurenet.co.uk...
