as this has moved on to great US shows, I now, predictably, mention... oh, not even I can do it again BBC as an institution is a strange mix of complacent and defensive. TV output, especially factual stuff, has become nigh on unwatchable. I almost prefer Sky news to BBC news and I never thought I would say that (although I don't like any TV news really, apart from maybe Ch 4) As I get older I find it's not about the TV though - the breadth of services across the radio stations and web is frankly an embarrasment of riches for which we should give daily thanks and for dumping Jon Gaunt, they also deserve special thanks
