Exotic Location Irritation

I have found one good thing about Covid
I have stopped shouting at my TV
At those daytime competitions
shot on location by a tropical sea

Celebrities travel all over the world
to film a five minute TV slot
Why did they need to fly thousands of miles
to find the perfect idyllic spot

Due to pandemic travel restrictions
foreign holiday travel is now banned
They film from our countryside and coastline
and beautiful places across our land

The competition budget and carbon footprint
must have been slashed beyond belief
Is it ever justified to shoot these VTs
live from the Great Barrier Reef

I wonder when things return to normal
will they go back to their filming ways
Will I go back to shouting at my TV
like I used to in the "good old days"

Witty and with a point! I admit to the "irritation" in the title, not least
over the apparent obsession nowadays with "holidays". Hardly a
TV game show or other programme goes by without someone
proclaiming their hope to take a holiday.
