Good ! Now perhaps we can have some more quality drama like we had last Saturday night. The Beeb should leave this dross to ITV and the satellite stations, and get on with the stuff they are really good at.

I entirely agree. Cheap TV production. Saturday nights have never been the same since reality shows kicked in. People thinking they have chance to become stars and all they are doing is just making fools of themselves. That isn't my idea of interesting viewing.

The problem with these talent shows is, they are always looking for a gimmick, something different. With 'The Voice' the judges had their backs to the performers, and I expect the 'X Factor' has something different. I think we should still have a Talent show but let's keep it simple.The act performs and the audience in the studio or at home make the vote.

You mean like this Mikey?

Leave it to ITV...they do this sort of thing better than the BBC and seem to show no desire to put anything else of worth on their channel, whereas the BBC can and do provide quality programs.

this telly is utter cock - can anyone name any of the winers?

Pottery show is on Tuesdays not Saturdays.

As any TV Company will tell you, good dramas are much dearer to produce that some of these other shows , that's why we don't get enough of the good stuff and lots of fillers.

[mikey4444]

Yes I'm afraid I do Balders ! It isn't my taste at all, but I accept that some people will prefer that kind of TV program to good quality drama.

It takes all sorts !

But my point is that while the BBC fill up their schedules with that sort of thing, they leave no room ( or no budget ) for anything else.

I admire your optimism thinking the BBC will replace the voice with good quality drama. The only reason they are not continuing with the programme is because they refuse to enter a bidding war, that is not an indication that the replacement programme will be any less banal.

[HansUrbancka]

I have always thought it a boring programme with boring panels of 'experts'.

Hans.

Vulcan...I would prefer that the BBC spend their money more wisely.

So-called reality shows have mushroomed over the years precisely because they are cheap to produce. But when the BBC next makes one of their marvelous Dickens adaptations, like Bleak House perhaps, it will be admired and sold all over the world.

Wonder how long before we have a crochet or knitting x factor type competition on TV?

//can anyone name any of the winers? //

keith floyd, now there was a cracking winer.

[mikey4444]

trt....shush !...somebody might be listening !

[mikey4444]

Mush...he was indeed ! I met him in his restaurant near Totnes, on 2 occasions and on each he was tremendous value for money !

[Noe-schitt]

I am waiting for someone to produce a show on knitting or needlework or maybe "build me a new dog kennel in the country" absolutely gripping

[janbee]

Good news. The Beeb has got laryngitis and has lost it's Voice. I'm not a fan of any of these karaoke acts.

[furrypusscat]

Just for Noe-Schitt. I didn't watch this series but just in case you wanted to catch up on the needlework programmes on BBC2 you can catch up.
