Was it in any way justifiable for the BBC tv ten o'clock news on Sunday night to include an item about Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday party?

I think that the main point of the story wasn't that it was VB's birthday but that it was the first time that the Spice Girls have performed together since they split.

They do these daft so called social interest things occasionally (or more often). Especially if they have little real news they're willing to tell us about. One tends to indulge them about such irrelevance, but no, someone reaching 50 and having a party is hardly good news, nor is it interesting. And the only reason the girls got together was the party, so the meeting was simply an effect of the cause, i.e. the party. I was a little surprised Victoria had to be carried out by David though, had she really got that intoxicated ? (Rhetorical question only.)
was anything else of note happening - or is your point: we dont know as they padded out the available time with rubbish?
we also had a bit on the coin hoard found in Darzett aaaargh ! at a lonely place called South Poorton - the grandfather or gt grandfather was a patient of my father's. I remember accompanying him on a house-call in the fifties ( also my father's fifties).
Being sold at Duke's, Darchester aaaarh tomorrow.
I find Victoria's business affairs of overwhelming interest as she as prepared to sacrifice everything to optimise her own share - a bit like Lennon and those loveable scouse mopheads ( the Beatles). - that band was much better / useful. productive as a quartet, but John still broke it up - I dont think it fell apart.
o god she is so rich and looks so miserable the whole time. - she doesnt 'do' gracious
Especially if they have little real news they're willing to tell us about
yeah today 1300 we went back from Beeb news to Traces ( BBC1) 1304 when they led on - Rwanda - vote until you drop dead - Trump ( more screams of it is not fair, still in court) - Sexy MPs in public lavatories ( last week: they cant STILL be there) - and Ladies playing with someone else barlz ( rugby).
what interests viewers/readers and what it is in their interest to be informed about does not always match.
very 1923 BBC view
nowadays, it is whether people will watch - including the Gee thelma last item. I constantly berate the Been by email for the love of fluffies putting it as they learnt at uni rather than clearly.
(they got Haemophila badly wrong)
