Not true. What about Bodyguard, Victoria, Line of Duty and so on?

My complaint has not been that there are no quality programmes on scheduled TV, just that the number of such programmes are diminishing. This is particularly noticeable on the pay tv channels. Only BBC and ITV seem to be putting themselves out with their own quality dramas at present. Sky does the occasional one such as Strikeback, but there are very few, if any, compelling Sky productions on there these days.

A couple or so years ago, I was recording programmes from quite a range of channels - even minor ones such as 5USA. This no longer happens because I simply can't find stuff to watch any more..

I live in the real world, Den, where advances are made and things change over time. You seem to be stuck in a time warp!
