I had a quick read of that on the BBC website

No surprise (to me) that it came across more about Advertising Revenue than the quality of programs . . two mentioned were I'm a Celebrity and Love Island . . definitely top quality FFS :D

Mind numbing garbage for the (already) brain dead masses, where the 10 minute advert breaks (every 15 minutes) allow them to catch up on the latest facebook posts. :rofl:

ITV (and BBC) produce almost nothing I watch anymore.
In fact looking at my current list of shows, none of them are made by either.
