ANDREW ANDREWS
The World Tonight
Apparently, audience ¬figures for this well-known daily news programme have been falling recently,
which surprises me, but it’s still popular with lots of people I know. In fact, it’s become such a regular
part of my life that if I can’t see it because I’m busy with something else, it really bothers me. The
programme always starts with the latest headlines and then moves on to other stories. Then you get local
1 and human-interest stories, and sport after that. That is always the same, which somehow makes me trust
what I’m seeing and hearing, and that’s a good thing, although the content is often very worrying or sad,
of course. The reporters always seem to know what they are talking about and the main presenters are
always very professional. Actually, as a young journalist myself currently working for a regional
newspaper, one of my own dreams is to be able to take on the role one day.

What surprises the author about "The World Tonight"?

Benar The falling audience figures
The popularity among people
The regularity of the programme
The trustworthiness of the content

The thing about watching this talent show – which, to be honest, I rarely miss – is that you can forget
about reality for a while. Many of the acts aren’t very good, and I often wonder why I’m wasting precious
hours witnessing people making fools of themselves. When someone performs badly or receives really
critical comments from the judges, it frequently occurs to me that it must be terrible to be in that person’s

shoes; their dreams have been destroyed in front of millions of viewers. But my brother, who’s a big fan
of the show, always points out that no one has been forced to take part. Occasionally, there’s a
performance where you think ‘that person has real talent’, and they could easily become successful and
famous. It’s also worth remembering how hard some of the performers must have worked to get onto the
show, and sometimes the way they have managed to overcome all sorts of problems in their lives is truly
