Good drama is good drama, and if it’s good it will stand up on it’s own and not need to be propped by a state financed channel.

Can see this thread descending into the same arguments as the other 200 BBC threads !

Probably, but we now live in a world of choice, TV ( Sky/cable) as most of us regard it is mainly watched by us oldies and terrestrial tv by even older Es. Kids aged from 5/6 upwards don’t watch tv, they watch YouTube.
Broadcast TV will possibly be gone in 10/20 years, on demand for everything will be the format.
The BBC will continue to become less and less relevant.
Fleabag, Gentleman Jack would still get made on the likes of HBO, Netflix or Amazon.
Graham Norton would happily live on HBO.
The BBC should just leave TV and concentrate on radio, and by radio I mean Radio 4, and possibly 5. I would happily pay a licence to finance Radio 4 & 5. £2 a year?
