Catch Up TV - what's the point?

I really don't see the point of this catch up tv business. When it is not "Temporarily Unavailable" (which seems to be most of the time) it never shows the programmes I actually want to watch. For example, in the last week I have been unable to watch the following programmes and thought I'd be able to "catch up". Guess what? None of them are available on Catch Up TV.

Thursday BBC1 Waterloo Road
Saturday BBC2 Timewatch
Monday BBC1 Messiah part 2 (I caught part 1, but now can't see part 2)
Monday BBC1 Panorama
Monday BBC2 Atom
Monday C4 Dispatches
Tuesday C4 Medicine Men

These are all home made progs so I doubt there are any licencing issues that prevent them being shown.

I suppose catch up is OK if you enjoy shows like A-Z of Bad Boys and Bravo's Scariest Police Chases Caught on Video or whatever its called.

For the BBC's progs I tried the iplayer but my VM "superfast" broadband isn't quite capable of keeping up (but that's a separate issue).

That's my tuppenceworth
