It has been reported that You’ve Been Framed has been axed by ITV after 33 years. The news will no doubt come as an almighty shock to millions of households, who assumed that it had already been cancelled several years ago.
For almost as long as anyone can remember, You’ve Been Framed has been a fusty old relic of a distant age. It is a memento of a time that no longer exists. A time when the format was new and exciting. A time when video equipment was rare, cumbersome and expensive. A time when our viewing options were so limited that TV channels could get away with running half an hour of primetime telly on a non-stop loop of old ladies falling over at weddings.
