So, I'm still watching Bullseye from 1981. And everyone is unemployed. But when they tell Jim this, he doesn't mock them or chide them; he offers his support and asks how bad it is wherever they're from. Like it's a war. Which it was - and they're on the same side.
There's a lesson in there for TV producers today. First, stop all the scornful, demonizing crap about benefits claimants. And then hire some presenters who actually understand what it's like to come from regional, working communities.
A standard opener for Jim is to ask someone where they're from, and then to follow this up by asking if there's much work there. This is a light entertainment show combining darts and trivia, and it shows more care and concern for working communities than anything we have today.
