Pointless and Braindead Filler.

What can one say about 20 to 1? It is sheer trivial fluff that is not informative in any way about the subject matter that it is featuring. It is a cheaply produced way to fill up an hour and make some TV commercial bucks.

Every week it chooses some topic to count down the top twenty of - such as movies, on screen arguments and sporting moments. It is pathetically Australia-centred and has a host of typically Australian moron celebrities who comment on each entry. These are always some one brainless blonde 'celebrity' or a washed up sports star who has nothing better to do. Their opinions are bland and uninteresting, and the host, Bert Newton, continually reads bad jokes off an auto-cue. This how is utter filler and adds nothing to one's evening viewing.

This is completely uninspired, unimaginative and badly-researched schlock. I think however, that the fact that people actually watch this s h it is worse than the fact that it has been made.

Avoid.
