Edit: I agree with Benta if not clear. --- End quote --- I'm genuinely interested. What is left on the BBC that is watchable? I often listen to BBC radio when driving, but even that has gone downhill. BBC TV really has nothing to offer. The last thing I watch on the BBC itself was a dramatization of The Name of the Rose a couple of years ago (not something they themselves produced). I've watched a few excellent older things from the BBC since then on other services. |

Great documentaries that none of the other broadcasters would make/fund (otherwise they already would have), News, World Service, most of the stuff on BBC4 (TV), Radio 3, Radio 4, and actually quite a lot of really good drama series. Sure, they make some crappy Saturday night lowest common denominator audience crap, like all the other broadcasters do, but at least they make the good stuff too! How else do you think they sell so many programs to other international broadcasters? |

If you need something gorgeous to keep your TV busy, try these: |

That's why you don't get it. "Everything new is bad, the old was good, we should go back the things they were." Just open a topic like this, and place there your daily rant. |
