"A BBC source said Lord Hall has "set a clear challenge - to reinvent the BBC for a new generation". "The way children and young people are watching and consuming programmes and other content is changing fast, and the BBC needs to respond. This investment will mean we can reinvent how we serve our youngest audience in the years ahead." 'how we serve our youngest audience in the years ahead' is another way of saying 'We need to dumb them down even faster than we do already.' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40489812 The national broadcaster mandate - 'To inform with trivia, and dumb down.'
I am unable to trust the BBC. I have no TV and no radio. And the BBC is the reason why. They send me threats of imprisonment. Weekly. Please privatise those ********s so I can watch Freeview for free. If I click on a BBC link on the internet, they will IP track me and bill me £180 and or win in court and imprison me. Last week, on a forum I clicked an unlabelled BBC news link. And now they have me. Now I owe then £180 or whatever the licence fee is. FFS. I don't have £180 spare. I need to eat this month. F off. BBC. Your political bias hates me. I am not interested in paying my enemies to promote an agenda of hatred against me. F right off. Privatise now. Break the monopoly.
I never watch BBC news, but I rather appreciate them because they created good shows like Sherlock and the Musketeers. The problem of a lot of european shows is that they're either boring or americanized, BBC succeed to produce good shows who are neither american neither boring.
Doctor Who and the Open University. The BBC make good shows and the good shows will sell. The news channel? I doubt it. Production standards at the BBC are indeed very high. I used to work in TV in my younger days. Nothing I have ever made has matched them for quality or even come close.
I didn't liked that much the last season. I had the feeling that the whole season was "hey look at me we have black lesbian character", and I don't give a care about that. I have nothing about lesbian or black characters, but I don't like that the whole plot revolve about that fact.
I honestly can't believe that any adult with an IQ above single figures would watch such infantile rubbish. If they do it can only be a 'chewing gum-for-the-brain' thing.
Oh I didn't mean to be personal - in fact I believe I'm the only person on planet Earth who doesn't watch it, the reason being that it's a children's program.
Yes, I have two, but they being beyond the age of 10 don't watch it either. If they did I'd disown them!!
Eastenders just needs a Polish family, then we're good. Everything else is met and I swear Denise even went to the Job Centre! I was like; wow - Go Eastenders! - Now where's the Polish Family or the refugees?
Kill off 5 cast members? IDK, round Christmas (it'll be filmed before hand)... when cast members vacate their roles to perform pantomimes 'festive live shows of fairy tales and whatnot'... have a Christmas special perhaps of a Polish family, or better yet, a Syrian refugee family coming to Walford in need of a place to stay, Mo takes them in, they get registered and it turns out her fella in the new year has been hitting her about and that's why this family came to Walford because they feared for their lives from him, and... they came to the UK to Croydon 'why not' to flee Syria.
I haven't bought a tv licence in quite a few years. They chased me up about it at first and I told them 'It's bad enough you spend all your transmission time trying to infantalise me, but if you think I'm gonna pay you to do it then you're very seriously mistaken.' I get a little form every now and again asking for my assurance that I still don't watch broadcast tv (which I don't because I have more self-respect than to allow myself to be manipulated/socially engineered by a bunch of dimwits) but other than that, I never hear anything from them. The only progs I watch on iplayer are the Daily Politics and Sunday Politics. Oh and Wimbledon once a year! But even then only the finals.
Same same. No TV, no radio. No reason to buy one. Don't miss it. The usual threats of prosecution from the BBC. So scarey. I'm going to prison because I refuse to buy your product. No. BBC, I'm not. Whack off. Screw em. Don't even hit their links on the internet. I used to like the Andrew Neil shows too. Nevermind. BBC hate me. Why should I support them. It's not reciprocated.
The BBC was even small-minded enough to block my emails. Actually it's my claim to fame, because whatever it was that I said must have hit a raw nerve big-time. And to think there was once a time in my life when I was so admiring of it. Now it's just a national joke.
I've just complained to the BBC for the first time in my life. I wanted to watch The Travel Show, but instead got a live Jeremy Corbyn speech at the Miner's Gala... I turned over to Sky News, same thing... So I called up the BBC, said 'I wanted to watch The Travel Show on BBC News but instead got Jeremy Corbyn promising £10.00 an hour' I then went on to remind them that Jeremy Corbyn lost and I want to watch The Travel Show. I ended it by saying, this is not good enough and too much time and resource was spent on Jeremy Corbyn's pointless post election campaigning. The BBC can show Jeremy Corbyn if they want instead of what they advertise, and I can/and have complained because I wanted to. I want it to be known that if Jeremy Corbyn hijacks the BBC, complaints follow.
BBC? A few good series. But too many repeats & too politically biased. They are left wing, pro-EU, anti-Israel, pro-immigration, pro-Islam & anti-Christian. All in all I give them a 2/10 score.
But - but the Beeb is supposed to be independent and politically impartial. Are we talking about the same organisation?
