BBC Three is the most pointless waste of airtime I've ever known. They occasionally do a serious teen/social issues based documentary which is interesting, but most of the time it is simply as you say, re-runs of un-funny animated American comedy shows or a repeat of Eastenders. If it goes online it will surely continue to attract it's target audience anyway. BBC four on the other hand would be a great loss if it ever went the same way.

Ha! To be fair, other media outlets have used the term "axed" as well.

twitter is unbearable at the moment, so much crap flying around. I only use it for entertainment purposes, having chats with people and learning about things that aren't related to politics, history or science because you haven't got a hope in hell there.


on topic, does this mean I won't be able to watch family guy anymore? probably a good thing. am still singing the bird song in my head.

If callers to his radio show are anything to go by, most of bakers listeners are well outside london, never mind new cross


Twitter is bigger than before so has more idiots. Why are they in your timeline


Bbc3 is being taken off air. Relegated to iplayer only it is effectively axed, so no real misreporting there either

It's not even really about twitter or idiots in your timeline strafer.


its people writing misinformed blogs that on the surface look quite good and seem 'factual' and then some nice people RTing it and so on, perpetuating crap as 'truths' or implied consensus view. one particularly sensible writer I follow is just RTing everything that is being 'live tweeted' by another person he follows. It is driving me barmy as if I wanted to f-ing follow someone live tweeting an event then I'd follow them, I don't need someone else to do it for me. If that makes sense.


and then of course there's the ones whose politics or point of view I just disagree with. idiots ;)


edit: mute button very handy, i've muted him for a couple of days. I think its healthy to read stuff that you don't always agree with too, as long as its not factually wrong.

Back on topic (my fault) BBC 3 feels like a repeat channel for Gavin & Stacey. BBC4 on the other hand is fantastic and quite frequently my first point of call on a TV night (especially on Fridays). In danger of damaging my beeb bashing cred, but I would pay the licence fee for BBC4 and Radio 6 alone - although Radio 6 veers towards a touch of the smugness.

True now RE Beeb4 but for a while it teetered with some abysmal viewing figures even at prime - sometimes under 1000 - with more than a few people questioning what the justification for it could be.


Since then, it's a good example of how money carefully spent in the right place - with a clear overall vision and brand - can build a channel which people actively scan the programme guide for.


BBC3 could never decide what it was - and the thing it hoped it might be (comedy) was never up to scratch.

I'm with the OP. Losing BBC4 would be awful - it's precisely what a public service channel should be and doesn't chase big audiences or the next trend. The idea of BBC3 was ok but the reality most of the time was rubbish. Trying out some of this stuff online is fine, it's where we'll watch everything in the not too distant future.

    • Miatta Fahnbulleh MP House Of Commons LONDON SW1A 0AA 185 Farringdon Road London EC1A 1AA www.royalmail.com Dear Ms Fahnbulleh Chadwick Road, LONDON SE15 4PY Thank you for your communication regarding mail deliveries to addresses on Chadwick Road. Delivering a reliable service is our top priority, and I am very sorry that your constituent has cause for concern. I am always disappointed when I hear that any of our customers do not feel that they are receiving the service that they ought to. Following your communication, I contacted the Customer Operations Manager at Peckham Delivery Office. They have advised me that there are no current issues with the delivery of mail to addresses on Chadwick Road. They have confirmed that mail deliveries are taking place six days a week, when there is mail available to be delivered, and I am assured that there is no mail currently awaiting delivery. If at any point a delivery round cannot be completed on a particular day, for example we may have a shortage of staff, the unit will ensure that the address will become the priority the following working day. I hope that this reply is helpful. As always if we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Yours sincerely Michael Hogg Senior Public Affairs Manager   This was the reply the MP sent me regarding lack of post.  
    • Not according to the article I posted on the previous page!
    • That's lovely! Good for them!
    • You’ve taken the time to write quite a long post explaining why you think as you do. But as I pointed out earlier in the thread most young people look pretty much the same they tend to wear different clothes on different occasions and unless there’s something overwhelmingly stand out about their appearance such descriptions do not help  -  there’s probably about 25,000 teenagers within walking distance of the park. Any description could apply to many of them. The police have the descriptions leave it to them.  I hope you won’t stop going to the park, to reassure yourself go onto the Metropolitan police crime site and you’ll see that Peckham Rye Park is a very safe place to be.
