BBC4 , SAD TO SEE IT DUMBING DOWN

Post by number 6 »

Wednesday night's schedule wouldn't look out of place on channel 4. Way over obsessed with music docs now...the quality of the programmes seems to be on a downward spiral too.

It is difficult to differentiate Beeb4 from Beeb2. Having said that I think BBC4 has done a good job. It's remit was to put out arts dcoumentaries, science documentaries, music and foreign drama and I think it has done that well.

It has regular arts documentaries. The music output is good and I have seen some great foreign imports such as the Killing, Borgen, The Bridge as well as other imports such as Inspector Montalabano which I have enjoyed.

It's not really dumbing down........but there are lots of repeats of those music documentaries.
