Good example - what's on the two channels right now?


BBC Three - new: festivals, sex and suspicious parents - Harry and Hannah go to their first festival experience.


Originality 0/10 - pointlessly following two kids around a muddy field for their first concert. Yawn.


BBC Four - Dancing in the Blitz: How world war 2 made British ballet - the birth of the royal ballet during a period of austerity.


Originality 8/10 - unique and something you'd struggle to find anywhere else. The story of an institution.

Yep, BBC4. I enjoy some of those too.


A few years back I watched Family Guy most nights for a month or so on BBC3. Since that time I have never watched BBC3 or Family Guy again.

To be honest I was vaguely swayed by the article until two things.

Firtsly he reminded me that BBC3 was responsible for two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, a programme so painfully awful it made Miranda look like Fawlty Towers, and secondly he used the word trope...gnnnahhahhaaaaaah

BBC3 was past it before it really got there


However, as we're in TV land, i'm rather partial to 'Yesterday' which is great for Nazi hunters and stuff like that


Of course that 'stuff' is solo watching, my other half looks and groans silently when she see's what i'm watching


"At least it's not Dave" I feebly plead as she heads upstairs



But leave BBC4 well alone please

Yes started on BBC2 and then shanked off to BBC3. A show so dreadful no one mourned it's passing.

Well yesterday on 'Yesterday' they had the guy from the Simon Wiesenthal Centre trying to find Dr Death Aribet Heim . After years of persuit it turns out he died in Egypt, but no body or bones to be tested. And 2 million euro in a German bankaccount untouched


Of course he'd be 94 by now, so finding him alive is slim, but a great programme it was


BBC3 was shite

ha! Thanks! I will definitely check 'Mongrels' out.


There was also a great animated series about a bunch of lab animals that had escaped from the lab they were kept in. It was on BBC2 after Newsnight about 7+ years ago. It was hilarious but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. In fact there were a handful of great UK made adult-themed cartoons back then that just disappeared off our screens.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
