It didn't appeal. It was dire.
I supplied a replica Baird televisor (and the associated operating skills) for a low-budget TV programme last year.

It was shot in a collection of farm buildings, and I've never seen anything so ramshackle in my life.

Hand-held cameras, no vision mixer. Huge gaps between short 'takes', movie-style. No camera script, and someone calling-out 'action!' every so often.

I didn't bother watching it when it was broadcast; I'd seen enough.

(I didn't get paid, either. Not even expenses).
