mick2me 3,033 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Strictly is just one of the programs that would disappear rapidly off my screen, like any of the 'Reality' shows or any of the mind numbing soaps! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Oh no!!!!!! Am I the only one who loves Strictly? I'd stop several of the cookery programmes , with the exception of The Hairy Bikers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 No FLY, I'm right there with you for Strictly. I only watch Dave and Si to see what bikes they're product-placing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I never miss The Chase 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Neither do I, mick2me, although it's on ITV. I always watch Match Of The Day on BBC1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 #22. I didn't say I was a big fan of Strictly, CF, only that I admired its production values, and for that reason was money well spent because it is done so well. High quality costs money. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,613 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 On BBC, I love Strictly, Doctors, Eastenders, Holby City, Casualty and some Nature & Wildlife programmes I also like Dr Who ( although if this week's episode is a rubbish as last Saturday's, I may stop watching that) and certain documentaries Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barclaycon 569 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 In general I don't have a problem with the license fee. £12 a month for the number of channels and services available is actually pretty good. I don't want to see 'paid advertising' on the BBC, or the kind of creeping erosion in public service commitment that seems to be gathering pace, but I do want to see better value for money. The BBC will never satisfy everyone, but it CAN be a mainstay of terrestrial broadcasting. Their problem is that they've tried to do too much with the available funds and they've had a 'bloated' management structure for too long. For example, do they really need 190 press officers to tell us about the cuts they are intending to make ? They had a massive proliferation in channels in recent years which has diluted the quailty and integrity from their budget. I don't think we need The Asian Channel, 1Extra, 5Extra and some of the Local radio stations. Nor BBC 3, or 2 Childrens' channels (1 will do), even BBC Parliament. Freeview might have loads of channels, but I bet most people only ever frequent a handful. We want quality, not quantity. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Quality not quantity, absolutely. Remember when video recorders became commonly available during the late 70s? They were the must-have, so you if you were watching BBC1, you could record what you would be missing on either ITV or BBC2 . Back then, just three channels gave plenty of choice.

Rob.L 1,090 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 #20 Sky might have a £4.6Bn budget, but most of it is spent on football and buying-in American programmes. Very little of that budget is spent on British programming. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
