    The BBC is to slash about 100 hours' worth of new TV shows in
    the coming year, with original dramas and entertainment
    bearing the brunt.

    The corporation's Annual Plan shows that in the next 12
    months viewers will be getting fewer new shows, due to
    'ongoing pressure on the BBC's finances and the increasing
    cost of programming'.

    . . .

    That's decades worth of Tory PLUS Labour for you,
    ran everything into The Ditch. When I you keep electing
    the same twits over and over and expect better results,
    well, that's an old humorous def of "insanity".

    Maybe not so funny ...

    I know that BBC-America is almost nothing but whiny
    nature docs and old (usually US) movies these days.

    Ya know ... I just don't CARE about the long-beaked
    purple-toed muck-wader bird and Attenborough's superior
    patronizing tone doesn't help things.

    Whatever became of that sharp cheeky British wit ?
    Oh, might "upset" Islamists and Puritans I suppose ...
