Julio Cruz posted:Are any of those numbers sourced? 70% of UK adults sounds way too high a number to have watched even one of those series. Plus the Beeb are being a bit disingenuous putting up multiple seasons of Sherlock up against House of Cards, which has more episodes in one season than Sherlock does in all three. They've cited the hours of TV they put out on that budget and obviously the 72% is the total viewership of all series achieved on that budget given that this is not the 1970s and you will not get 72% of British adults to watch any single given thing After 12 solid years of tremendous political pressure the BBC is up against the wall enough that I don't begrudge them a little propagandising although I guess they should have cut that comparison if it's really got people rallying around loving Netflix

They should have just compared themselves to Sky instead. I mean even if the comparison was grossly unfair, I wouldn't care because its Sky.

What, and then incense the Murdoch empire to such an extent that the sun and the times will carry out hatchet jobs, character assassinations and daily pieces of editorial butchery in order to make it their mission the BBC gets disbanded? Not a sensible strategy I'm afraid.

netally posted:What an obnoxious tweet. The Beeb does many things well, but drama isn't their strong point. Oh hey, it's season 500 of Doctor Who and another loving adaption of a classic novel for bored housewives. Netflix is half the price, and seems to take way more risks, so there's always interesting content. Out of the ones on there I recognise, Line Of Duty, Happy Valley, Luther, Marvellous, The Honourable Woman and The Fall are at least above average, if not actually great. . Surprised they didn't include The Casual Vacancy either It's very easy to fall in with the idea of "all British drama is poo poo, why can't we have good stuff like on HBO" bandwagon, but the truth there are good things still being made, just as much as there is generic Saturday night nonsense like The Musketeers and Atlantis.

Channel 5 has a new series: Special Needs Hotel. I'm sure it'll be a fascinating social experiment that gives real benefit to the lives of the subjects, and not just an excuse to exploit the disabled.

Does sponsorship, like on X-Factor (with the dancing people and their skype faces), have to fit in the 3 minute advertising break window, or is it allowed to eat into actual programme content, by stealth?

The means Dev will be waving around a packet of HobNobs in his corner shop in Corrie. X-Factor is sponsored by Talk Talk (again, I think). They have these ad buffers of people pissing about in parks, with superimposed faces of viewers at home. I wanna know if that eats into ad time or into programme time. A lot of guys on here seem to know what's what about tele.

I guess the problem is the bakers will have watched previous series and swotted up on staples so they need to keep finding things that are a challenge to the bakers and new to the viewers. RE: X Factor Sponsorship, Sponsorship bumpers are supposed to sit separately from advertising and from the content of the show. That said, I don't think they count towards advertising minutes as they're strictly speaking not allowed to include calls to action or promotional references and thus aren't counted as adverts.

Was it on 2 before? I guess once they've picked their bakers they tell them what the Signature and Showstopper dishes are so a few weeks in advance so that they can practice since they almost always mention how it came out fine at home, but over how many days does the actual filming take place?

Angrymog posted:Was it on 2 before? I think each episode takes place over a weekend. They do get the dishes in advance. The big problem is that the bakers get progressively more skilled from series to series. This is from the finale of series 1 - the cupcakes are way less involved than anything that happens now. The series 1 technicals were: victoria sponge, scones, cobs, lemon souffle, and cornish pasties - all things that people will have heard of.

The contestants who were students from previous years have mentioned how bloody hard it was to do; having baking contests over the weekends and then studying and sitting their end of year exams during the week.

This Is England 90 was pretty enjoyable. Woody's phone call with his mum and dad felt like a lot of calls I've had with my parents. Everyone seems to be having too much of a good time so I'm sure some horrible poo poo will happen as the series goes on. Glad its back though.

Shane Meadows is class, and '90 is my favourite so far. The way every scene is shot, and the fact that they're almost entirely ad-libbed, makes great watching. The wrestling on telly with the Happy Mondays on in the background is just fantastic. You just know it'll get much darker after episode one.

EL BROMANCE posted:Saw the Beeb tweet this earlier, and it's now going to be my go to image as to why they rub me the wrong way these days. I watched both Happy Valley and The Fall on Netflix funnily enough. While I think the BBC is a good thing. They're in desperate need of an overhaul, from top to bottom. They need better directors who are not adhering to the in-house style of overly lit, soap opera looking programmes. Say what you want about Channel 4, but the show dictates the look. And while BBC do actually do that sometimes, more often than not it's just all very flat looking (Sherlock and Dr Who, their biggest exports, are terrible for this). I know a few people that work for the beeb, and none of them have particularly good stories to tell.
