Indeed: that's why they added 'the crusher' to The Repair Shop, the 'wrecking ball' twist to DIY SIS and the controversial 'Alex Ferguson hairdryer treatment' episode to Ted Lasso.
Funnily enough, Sky One did that once, crushing things on a gameshow because of... reasons. And it didn't go down very well either.
But of course speaking of not nice TV being in favour, everybody remembers the time when the sixth Gold Run prize on Blockbusters was to be hung, drawn and quartered in a foreign country of your choosing, while your other gold run prizes (and your winnings converted into the local currency) were lobbed into a bonfire in front of you.
