Programmes To Watch

[Logan]

Unfortunately, like a lot of stuff on BBC TV, it's a repeat. I remember it.

I really despair over what the BBC does with the four billion quid we give them each year, when half the schedules are full of repeats.

That's because they can't afford to put on new programmes all the time. It's not like the channels that have adverts.

Last night watched Call The Midwife special it was very good. Also Eastenders was very good, lots of acting in it.

Anyone with any "real world" business experience, could make a better job of managing £4,000,000,000 a year than the ex-university "Hooray Henrys," who run the BBC.

I don't want to get into a argument about the BBC. This is a thread about what we're watching or going to watch.

Just watched this from last night

Wasn't bad, but too much of close ups of "talking heads," only needed a voice over.

Liz Bolin, (she's in a lot of stuff) on now, talking about animals in the snow. Many close ups of her face, (lots of eye shadow) filmed in cold locations. Again no need for her to appear so frequently, show us more animals and talk over the pictures.

Why do we have to pay for her to travel to be filmed in far-flung locations and then show us stock nature footage? She wasn't anywhere near when these animals were filmed. But that's the BBC for you, she's an attractive female and has a regional accent, lots of boxes ticked there.
Too many nature programmes have celebrity presenters, they can't all be Attenboroughs.

Hi,

Most of our TV viewing is via YouTube and we're currently watching the old series of Dr Finlay's Casebook it being so down to earth and interesting; unlike modern viewing it could be regarded as boring because there isn't any swearing or people covered in tattoos etc; the storylines are excellent.

We're on series 3.

Kind regards, Colin.
