Filmed in grey made in Scandinavia with English subtitles beats them all.
Somebody commenting on a very negative Guardian review of Death in Paradise said
that if DiP had been filmed in grey, made in Scandinavia with English subtitles
the reviewer would have given it a rave review.

Perhaps, though I thought 'The Bridge' was superb, made 'Spooks' look
very superficial in comparison. 'Line of Duty' running at present is
good stuff though.

What no more Snog Marry Avoid?
I was a bit confused about all this.
They said make it an on line channel, well maybe but if the idea is to save
money, how does that work? Best bet in my view is to rename 4 to three
quarters, and put on only the best of the stuff from both.
Seriously though haw can you have 1, 2, and 4? That would be silly.

Actually, that would be quite "logical", after all they are just
'bits' of the BBC's output. Just regard the numbers as identifying
which 'bit' is which by their binary 'weighting values'.

What will happen to the channel allocations for this channel. BBC1 plus 1
perhaps?

That's already in use for BBC2 in the logic of binary weighted
numbering. A BBC1 +2, otoh, would fit right in though since it can
occuppy the slot vacated by BBC3. :-)

BBC 1 plus 1? Anyway, one can now see one of the reasons they wanted to
cancel Sky at night. They are running out of our dosh. Perhaps its time
to get a new model. Surely the BBCs job as a public service broadcaster
is to cater for things the commercial folk cannot as they cannot sell
adverts in it. Then if any of the stuff gets popular, they should have a
commercial wing that can carry on making sid shows and put them out with
adverts to help with funding the rest of the BBC.

The problem with this idea is that the licence fee should provide
programmes for everybody. If the BBC doesn't provide programmes for hoi
polloi, then they won't pay the licence fee. As a senior BBC man once said
in my hearing to a question from a journalist whoa sked who were the
programmes aid at: "We're publicly funded, who do you suggest we miss out?"

Line of Duty is excellent, BBC at its best,

Ha! I switched off half way through the second episode after the
scalding incident,I couldn't take any more of the ludicrous plotline,
stereotyped characterisation, predictable dialogue and the sight of the
usual cast of BBC "actors" trotting out their familiar hackneyed roles
on demand once more.

The BBC has lost the drama plot. It's either unbelievable ****e like
LOD or it's played for "laughs" as in Murder in Paradise/New Tricks,ho
****ing ho. Either way, it makes me appreciate the afternoon drama on
Radio 4 all the more.

Yes, it's a sort of fractal approach - present a very low quality
approximate version of events at first, then fill in the details
later, or wait for others to do so. We get there in the end.

There's a lot of oddities. There was a recent article in the DM about MS being
linked to the contraceptive pill. I went to an MS website to check the article
there was a more formal better written version of the information that was in
the DM article with the source of the information attributed to the DM!
There was also an earlier DM article about women taking the pill having a lower
probability of getting MS. This is consistent with other DM health articles
anything that is said to be good for you in one article is often said to be bad
for you in another article published months later.

Statistics! Pregnant women are less likely to get immune system
disorders like MS because their immune system is slightly suppressed
during pregnancy.

The MS theories discovered by analysing statistics pop up every few
months. The one about oral contraceptives has done the rounds at least
once before.

My statistics show one man with MS married to a women who took the
pill. Now my wife has given up taking the pill I should get better!

When this BBC3 closes does that mean the children's programs closed too on
the daytime that shares with it?

Now, now, don't assume "he's" as thick as yourself, yes; the same names
may well crop up in the cast lists, but they adapt their performance to
the characters they are playing, I think it's called "Acting".

Well, I've heard it said; "You get much better pictures on radio."
Presumably on account the listener has full editorial control of the
'in head video content'.
