Of course now that all of ITV is equally bad STV's output blends in, but those of us who are almost as old as this awful broadcaster remember that when the rest of the network was producing stuff like Callan, Brideshead, The World at War and World in Action, STV were churning out daytime magazine shows with Isobel Begg and Glen Michael's Bloody Cavalcade and who can forget Garnock Way which came between High Living and Take the High Road.
