So the programming itself is not bad, but most of it is old or the formats are looking rather tired these days. Worth keeping an eye on for the occasional goodie though, particularly at weekends.

Sounds like the perfect schedule to me OB (if you dropped 'Birds of a Feather,' and squeezed an 'All Creatures Great and Small' in )

The BBC is still outputting the best original drama - quality, not quantity. e.g. the Jeremy Thorpe drama was best thing on TV by far this year.
