The couple of times I’ve been to London, I’d watch that channel in my hotel room after a day of sightseeing.
Lucy is really cute!
That would utterly suck. BBC4 has some really great documentaries. I’d rather they scrapped BBC3. There’s never anything on that channel that interests me.
I’ve watched many archaeology/history programs with Lucy Worsley, Janina Ramirez, Alice Roberts, Dan Snow, Alex Langlands, Susanna Libscomb, Tracy Boreman, Kate Williams, Bettany Hughes, Neil Oliver, and others, and have enjoyed them all. I’ve gotten most of the programs I’ve view from British torrent sites that I’ve been a member of for many years. I love British history, and British mysteries, and gobble up everything that I can.
So the Brits are still charging for TV licenses? That has to be utterly futile and unenforceable in an age of mass quantities of online streaming video.
There have been some decent BBC4 music documentaries I’ve seen through Youtube.
“Youth programming”— code for low IQ trash: rap, hip hop, “reality” shows featuring promiscuity, “comedy” featuring the f-word, 50% homo characters, slutty girls, musclebound brainless boys, various Darwin-award “challenges”
I used to run a volunteer neighborhood outdoor film program, and it was always a struggle to balance popular films, such as Star Wars, and the like, with films that were very good, but would appeal to only a smaller audience. We found that putting people in seats could not be the exclusive goal of the program. If it were, we would have shown nothing but children’s films, which always drew the largest crowds. Instead, we needed to appeal to all groups at some point in the program, even if they drew much smaller crowds. That way, everyone benefited.
Weird. Young people don’t really watch TV.
I heart Lucy Worsley.
Tv licences......I wonder how that would go over hear in the states.
