Hmm refusal to accept the referendum result, refusal to accept that Corbyn lost, refusal to accept that a program is not popular, I think I'm detecting a pattern...

There isn’t a shortage of current affairs programmes. One gets cancelled; another one starts.
Maybe she’s been a victim of the gender pay argument. The BBC have to make some savings to pay everyone the same.

It is for the reasons that you stated and also because it seems that no-one can write a decent storyline any more.

It's full of meaningless technobabble and the sonic screwdriver which started out as the name suggests is now the Dr Who equivalent of Harry Potter's wand as it can do anything and everything - especially when the scriptwriters have run out of ideas

you'll be telling the Dan Dare joke next.

Riding around the cosmos haggling for second hand cars and asking you to send money to fix the Tardis so he can come to your planet and save you from alien invasion.

Could work.

The luvvies are still in meltdown over the cancellation of Victoria Derbyshire show.

The gist of their complaints seem to be that you can't cancel a show that is led by an award winning journalist and is staff mainly by women. After blaming the BBC naturally the Tories come in for some stick as really it's all their fault.

I simply do not get why the BBC and their staff have gone into meltdown over this. The show had poor rating and equivalent shows on other channels are pulling 4/5 times their numbers.

This is the not death of current affairs at the beeb they have plenty of other shows on TV, a 24 hour current affairs channel, radio and the web. The reason this show was cancelled was simple it was very expensive to make and no one was watching it.

That doesn't mean that a current affairs show cannot work or that Victoria Derbyshire cannot host a successful TV just that this format in this time slot over 5 years has not worked.

The makers of the show have had 5 years to get it right and they haven't, on commercial TV they would have cancelled it after one season or even sooner.

Cancelling this show is not an attack on the BBC or even women at the BBC it is what it is. These people need to grow up telly is a ruthless business and even at the taxpayer funded BBC you have to justify costs versus viewer numbers.

The BBC staff still seem to think that they decicde what is good for the public to watch whether the public knows it or not. Hopefully this is a wake up call the public through streaming and online decide what they want to watch and when.
