Yes, because they concentrate on dramas, and lately they have started documentaries as well.

However, as more streaming services start to make their presence felt in UK markets, we will start to see more documentaries, nature programmes and other more niche stuff coming on the scene, and there will be an awful lot more choice, not scheduled and without commercials, at a lesser price. The money for public service broadcasting will be reallocated accordingly.

I am astounded that you appear not to think that this is a good thing.

What public service broadcasting do you think is important? Are you worried that we will not be able to avoid having to watch this stuff?

Just askin'....
