Are you being served remake

[BBR]

Zzz.... a remake. How original. Seriously, is this the BBC? They've just lost the plot recently. Not content with just becoming a government mouthpiece for journalistic content, they're just showing an alarming lack of creativity lately in all other respects. The only good thing I remember seeing so far this year made by the BBC was Orphan Black and that was BBC America, and a Canadian production by Bell Media... and relegated to BBC Three. Some seriously good stuff on NBC, HBO etc... yet the BBC is just repeats, and twee, unoriginal crap... and repeats.

I'm quite pleased I don't possess a television and source what I watch from elsewhere.

Radio is going the same way too. Evening Radio 1 is crap compared to what it was. Annie Mac is still as good as ever, but since Zane Lowe left, it's been downhill ever since. The Radio 1 Breakfast show is crap since Moyles left. Radio 2 Breakfast show is just Chris Evans being annoying. Thank **** Radio 4 and 6 Music is still functional.

No risk taking any more, which is what happens when you let the suits and bean counters into any creative endeavour; they kill it. The Beeb deserves to just disappear up it's own tight, penny pinching a******e, and I wouldn't miss it for a moment... well, perhaps Radio 4.. I'd miss Radio 4.

I would miss radio 4 too but that is all I would miss.

Fatima : "My goodness! Do you think they'd eat me whole?
Marco : " No, I'm told they spit that out!"
