3. Stop giving us weather details from location. You don't need to be in Scotland to tell us it's raining there.
4. Scrap 'Stenders.
5. Leave local news to the radio. We don't need an onsite crew reporting on the likes of a "Rabbit owner in Peterborough....."

However I won't deny they make some cracking drama series.
Ross is no longer with BBC he is back with Channel 4

I do agree they waste money with this on location weather reports

and yes some of the onsite reporting can be a waste of money to.

i also think a lot of their shows are boring and tedious, instead of aiming at particular audiences they should start to do more family orientated shows and get back to writing some of the best sitcoms in the world.
