BBC 2 - Bill Oddies "How To Watch Wildlife" (wow .. I'm bristling with anticipation over this one  ), Gardeners World, Timewatch, Dear Television, Grumpy old women ndthen newsnight.
This is the sort of utter crap I fund with my license fee? It's a disgrace! |
One evening does not prove anything. I can list lloads of programs such as Horizion, BBC News and Newsnight, Grumpy old men/women, Have i got news for you, The Office, Yes Minister, Only Fools, Fawlty Towers, State of play, The one off dramas they do, and so on
They also do many programs that teach people, such as the current push to teach people about china. Also the school programs they do. Then too mention all the documentrys they do and all the projects they fund too find talennt and help people. How many other people have an action line oopen after programs to help people deal with the issues raised? Watch a eposide of eastenders which has a tragic story and at the end they show a number peoople can ring if affected.
