ditto. I skip their "news" entirely. Unfortunately the Beeb also has too much junk programming despite the excellent mysteries and comedies. Why is their programming loaded up with Bargain Hunt or Cash in the Attic? Several times a week is acceptable, but it seems every day is filled with that those two borefests. More Father Ted, Benny Hill, and Midsomer Murders please.
yeah, just like pbs, they should stick to real quality programming (full of hilarious, pompous, goober-headed brits!) ... my hero, last of the summer wine, as time goes by, waiting for god (diana trent, my wife's favorite evil genuis), keeping up appearances (oh no, it's the bucket woman!), open all hours, fresh fields (not french!), good neighbors, and the vicar of dibley.
