What's A Competition?
2 Answers
After almost every advertising break on 'This Morning' and a couple of other ITV daytime shows, they announce, 'It's competition time!' But it's not a competition.; there is no element of competition in it. It's a lucky dip, a raffle, the winner is a name drawn at random from the entries. I mute the sound the moment the raffle is announced.
