Summarize this article for a 10 year old
TV Hell was a BBC2 theme night broadcast on 31 August 1992, showing a whole evening of archive television clips widely regarded by critics[who?] and the public alike as among the worst ever produced in Britain.[1] It followed an unrelated series of archive theme nights called "TV Heaven", shown on Channel 4 earlier that same year.

TV Hell was defined as programmes and broadcasts where the conception of the production was misguided, even though it made use of established television cast and crew. Many of the resulting catastrophes caused promising careers to be curtailed, or in some cases led to a review of the commissioning process.
The term "TV Hell" has since been adopted in media culture to describe television programmes which are not very good.
