Watching Prince Charles' birthday show on TV reminded me how much television has changed over the years.
We used to have a couple of variety shows each week, as well as the 'young discoveries' shows for new talent.
All the new talent today seems to appear in soaps which are filled with boring arguments most of the time.
So come on Prince Charles, put your hand in your pocket more often and provide us with a bit more variety.
