I've just been reading that the BBC are looking at cutting stations, halving websites and cancelling bloody decent programmes, and for what...to cut costs!
Well I have one thing which could cut costs for the BBC, get rid of Last of the bloody Summer Wine, PLEASE! Can we not give these pensioners a break and let them retire gracefully without having to regurgitate the same storylines week in week out, where one, two or all of them go skidding down a hill on a tea tray, in a bath or get stuck in a curious hole somewhere!
We rely on the BBC to bring groundbreaking music, drama, entertainment and news to our little talking boxes 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and we as licence payers appreciate this...well I do.
So what are we going to get in place of these axed channels, shows etc etc., who knows.
BBC6 music, which is rumoured to be under the coche is a fantastic place for new music to be showcased, and BBC Asian network brings asian programmes, music and information to a wider audience that would not ordinarily get a chance to have access to this sort of service, so why get rid of them?
In the current economic climate when many people haven't so much as a pot to piss in right now, they turn to their telly and radio for entertainment. It's like whipping the carpet from under them!
Anyway, Dolly's had her rant and clambered down off her soap box in her 4" heels waiving her handbag. I just hope they don't axe Holby City otherwise I will have something to rant about!!
Till next time....x
Tis even worse for us poor penniless students that we have to fund this absurdity!
