      They also produced an inordinate amount of crap though. Try turning the TV on at any point in the middle of the day, on a weekday, and there’s absolutely nothing worth viewing.

        The thing that people don’t get is that some TV is not for you. If a show gets low viewing figures then it’s cancelled immediately these days, so everything you see on TV has decent figures for it’s timeslot, ESPECIALLY those long running trashy daytime things. You’re just not the target audience.

        Don’t wanna be that guy but I’ve got two kids, we watch Cbeebies pretty much everyday. It’s add-free, it’s educational and it’s all of a pretty high standard. It’s absolutely invaluable. And I’d imagine the same for CBBC.

        Letting people self select what they want would likely mean the end of this.

          Well, there’s more BBC channels now (and many more non-BBC channels), so there’s more rubbish, but also more quality stuff, there’s just more, more, more of everything.

          No, it’s good television when they show something you like, bad when it’s anything else.
