I am glad they are getting rid of both of those programmes. Total Wipeout was ste from the start and the weakest link was good when it first started but became tired some time ago. I hope they also don't commission future series of things like don't scare the hare and all other crap like that. I also think strictly come dancing should go.

The fact that something as new and refreshing as Zen was cancelled was the first crime, the reason given by the complete asshat at the BBC for it was the second crime, he deserves to be fired, complete fracktard.

Something for the Weekend, good hangover telly apparently, shown on BBC2 Sunday mornings got axed even though it had a big audience and it was made for peanuts by independent production company Princess TV.

So popular in fact that Princess aired, it's live, the last show on BBC, 2 weekends ago and then aired it last Sunday as Sunday Brunch for Channel 4. Same presenters and virtually the same format but with adverts.

At least they're replacing it with new, fresh and top quality content.

Politics and News is such a small part of their broadcast content and they still produce some of the finest television shown on any network.

Never can understand the PH hatred of the BBC

That can be done by others. Its lefty bias and climate change propaganda makes it ripe for closure.

scratchchin

I think this has effectively been picked up by another channel. Vaguely remember seeing something on the planner on another channel at the weekend for a show which by the title of it was them pair (Tim & wossname scouse chef).

Apart from the Attenborough Documentaries. Name some other "finest" shows they've produced? Stuff that can beat the best of HBO or Sky Atlantic offerings?

And whilst 90% of what I watch is sports related. They only do an equal job to Sky in that regard. So discount that.

On the political note, I do find the Labour loving a bit strong. Not saying Tories never make a balls up, (Last few weeks haven't been good for them!) but News should be INDEPENDENT. No "opinions" just the facts. He said this, they said that etc
