I don't think I've talked about this before, but I am beyond appalled that it's coming to this. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? Oh yeah, this. Made before the election...



To quote Russel T Davies (writing about the Press Launch for Voyage of the Damned):

...then more MPs - they never, ever say which party they represent. For all I know, I could be thanking a Tory.
The Writer's Tale, The Final Chapter, p293

(They complain about rioting and 'the uneducated underclass' and then they take away all the free culture!)

Thanks for the heads up. I've signed it and pimped it on my lj.

My pleasure. I'd heard rumours about the BBC Four thing, but hadn't heard about the petition until now...

Thank you - I hadn't realised - and it's one of the best things about the BBC - the one bit of my licence fee that I feel is money well spent!

Neither had I...

So much word! ETA: Well, a fair chunk of it is well spent, but they also produce a lot of subpar crap, and I'd much rather know my money went towards something genuinely good, than another sitcom on BBC3...

Oh it's the one with Russel Tovey! Then I have heard of it! Never watched it, but yes, I've heard of it. Might check it out although I'm behind on EVERYTHING. /o\

*pets Russel Tovery*

You watched Being Human, right?

first series, but I had an extended period of unreliable internet access, so never got the chance to see S2; waiting to afford the DVD's, or something.

Watched it because of Lenora Critchlow and this TV show...

Which is utterly brilliant!

(She was on Doctor Who back in S3!)

Wallander; more documentaries than I can count; music & arts... Real programming; you know, the sort of programme that BBC's One AND Two used to put on!

*nods a lot* Every TV channel makes guff - the BBC is the only one that has the resources to make something that's just good quality without worrying about viewing figures.

Hearing about this sort of thing makes me crazy, because it's so incredibly short-sighted. Unfortunately I don't think they'd think much of my signature, even though I am a member of the Commonwealth.

Word. How can people be so stupid?

[debris4spike]

Wow - I didn't even know about this ... how shocking!

[elisi]

I'd heard rumours, and I sincerely hope it never goes further.
