Why Are People Still Standing 6Ft Apart On Tv?

When interviewing someone or on quiz shows they are still cowering as though everyone was still infectious. It's ridiculous, it's over, get over it!

agree - look at Wimblebum and the ITV hoss-racing - the same too. they ought to wear condoms for protection - then Boris hasn't exactly been a model for wearing those either....

Because they were scared stupid. Now they are just stupid.

Maybe people realised that the spreading of vovid, common cold, flu can all be reduced by distance? It's not just about covid is it?

Repeats?

[Zacs-Master]

Accountability.

My TV isn't wide enough for folk to stand 6' apart on it.

[Peter Pedant]

it is personal space
and personal space is a social construct innit?

that is society and occasion dictates how close you can stand
think interview / bus or tube

I have got into a lot of trouble with seats next to leddies

spare seat - I will sit in it. - SHE thinks it is part of her space and I am invading it. even more 'fun' if I am sitting with her on my blind side so I can't see all the gurning etc

It's probably because they are mostly repeats. For instance on the 8/7 there were about eight repeats over the different channels.

It could be a free way of keeping TV types from touching others inappropriately.
