Those faceless Tristrams at the BBC have cancelled the only watchable thing on BBC1.


In retaliation I'm cancelling paying their licence fee


It was probably the same panel of box ticking twunts who sacked Danny Baker and put dog woman on in his place

This is really good news and shows the shift away from terrestrial production, as internet broadcasting becomes the norm. The poor ratings were imo a combination of the wrong scheduling time and also the flaws in which ratings are collated. Whilst many of us now use any number of platforms to watch programmes as catch up, ratings are still collected from a small selected pool of people provided with equipment to record what they watch, as it is broadcast. It is such an outdated mode of measuring viewing figures.


Also, add to that, that no licence is needed if you only watch catch up services and not live broadcasts. It's a pretty good incentive for many people to not bother with live television at all. The BBC needs to change it's model, and fast - or it will get left behind.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
