Legal advice
Some legal advice please.
If one person wants to watch the cricket highlights on telly but another person wants to watch 'The One Show' at the same time and a frank discussion fails to yield agreement on the matter, is the former person entitled to seize control of the goggle box on the grounds that the Test match is a matter of national interest while 'The One Show' is a bunch of vacuous, rambling fluff?
And is the latter person guilty of treason?

Brian Halford - Brian Halford’s look at Edgbaston.
Brian, if you get a minute, check out the 'State of Sports Journalism Today' article written by a thrusting young journo called Andy Bull, on Guradian unlimited. The comments are worth reading too. It's been picked up by the Sports Journalists Association.
Hi RR, thanks for that. Recommended reading for all, I'd say, and I would be very interested in the views on it of readers of this blog.
I agree with 98.7 per cent of it, which is why I hopefully won't be a journalist for too much longer.
I do hope the members are on their best behaviour out in Ireland after their admonishment by Mr Povey.
The thing is, the way Warwickshire play, you need a few pints to deaden the pain.
What are you hoping to becoming Brian? A train driver, maybe? More rewarding financially I would guess.
I agree with andy bull about the obsession with quotes. Sometimes you read a report in the paper that is full of quotes (mostly completely dull) while you end up hardly learning anything about what happened in the match
If you can't grab the remote, get a 2nd telly.It works in this house no arguments, but then Alan hardly watches telly especially rambling fluff.
Noticing the timing of this post Mr Halford I presume you ended up on the wrong end of this particular discussion?
Correct, Paul. Instead of enjoying coverage of the greatest form of the greatest sport of them all there we were listening to a sofafull of the smallest, most fatuous talk in the history of the world.
Sore-arm - I'd quite like a job mending stiles.
(Just how sore is that arm, by the way?)
Jane - Can't afford a second telly. I come from a poor family. I remember when I was little one year things were so tight that at Christmas mum and dad gave me an empty box and told me it was an action-man deserter. (ker-ching!)
