Can you blame them? From the intrusive adverts on other BBC channels It looks absolutely dire, as it always did of course.

I find them equally intrusive.

Well said. It's like the difference between spam (advert for legitimate company) and scam (advert for a fraudulent venture). They are equally annoying when they turn up in your email inbox, your text message inbox, by phone, through your letterbox, or (in the case of religious spammers) via knock at the door.
The real problem with trailers is that even when BBC is running late because it has prioritised sport ahead of a scheduled programme, it *still* runs all its trailers (you almost get the impression that find a few extra ones!) instead of ditching them to try and claw back a few minutes to get back on schedule. My impression (and I could be wrong) is that ITV, while it keeps the adverts which pay the bills, seems more inclined to drop trailers if there is an overrunning programme.
There are some odd decisions being made of late and this and the four week delay in Inside Science podcasts are but two of them.

In my view most soaps are now past their sell by date by quite a way.

Aren't many on BBC News to allow other channels to join or leave them, I expect some are to allow the presenters to be switched around.

There are some odd decisions being made of late and this and the four

AIUI The 'Inside Science' delay is for the sheduled radio *broadcast* on
FM, etc. The idea seems to give podcasting an 'advantage'. Whereas in
reality what it does is *disadvantage* conventional radio listeners.

As to the demise of "Neighbours", it was mentioned on local radio this morning that there was evidently a petition to keep it going, signed by 600,000 and which was sent to Channel 5. Obviously, though, with no
success.

Please, no! Let it not infest the others, but isolate it from all interaction with the outside world until hopefully it just dies.

Just watch out for when BBC3's adherents run the country, whose time will surely come. We rightly moan about millennials who run it now but we
ain't seen nothing yet.

It was going to die when the BBC dropped it and only saved when Ch5
carried on airing it, to a falling audience. The Aussie soap was only
viable with UK cash.
I seem to remember it "jumping the shark" when too many of the (fictional) cast fully recovered from fatal or degenerative illnesses.

Tee hee, Its pretty inoffensive though compared to Eastenders, which does seem to be based in a world which is far more dangerous and more full of idiots criminals and goodness knows what else than we live in. If I lived in Albert Square I'd get out as soon as possible. At least Neighbours is
somehow more palatable, something I never thought I'd say about a TV show from Australia.
two days ago More 4 seemed to vanish
I have never watched any of them but just sounds as if Neighbours follows in the
tradition of Crossroads!

The cardboard sets didn't wobble in Neighbours :)
Its a great shame that the BBC seem to have flogged off their old good stuff to a commercial channel for re runs.

Actually the delay only applies to podcasts through a third party
podcatcher (like Podcast Addict), and the ability to download the MP3
from the programme website. They are still broadcasting the programme as scheduled on Radio 4, in fact I have just recorded it from Freeview on
my Humax.

There was an odd article in The Telegraph justifying the spending of £87million
on a new Eastenders set on the basis of how little the old one had cost when spread over 40 years. Odd because the DT is consistently anti anything the BBC
produces. Do they really expect Eastenders to last another 40 years? Viewing figures are below 4 million now, about the same as Death in Paradise, which must
be die for the chop soon.

They showed the new set on The One Show on Friday.
The old set was in a poor state and not pleasant to work in because it
is unheated. It was never designed to last so long.
The new set saves money with simple things like being able to shoot
scenes in a doorway from both sides because the old set only had the
frontage of the buildings, so saving time.
I never watch any soaps but the series still seems to be very popular
and probably a lot cheaper to make than the American soaps that some
channels are so fond of.
Unlike you I do not have access to full BARB data but from the public
figures it seems to be getting more than the figure you quote.
Also shown in several other countries.
I think they get some grants / subsidies in the areas where it is filmed.
