are we all getting fed up of the BBC?

Terribull It does make me smile when programmes aimed at a younger demographic are made by the BBC because my perception is "they are either out or if they are in they are watching Netflix"

Well I hope they are not watching BBC3. I have checked it out a couple of times to see what they are putting out for young people and have been shocked and dismayed. It certainly didn't make me smile. It was either completely stupid or sex-obsessed i.e. six one hour episodes of Cara Delevingne exploring the female orgasm in graphic detail. I just hope 12 year olds aren't watching this. Is that what the BBC was set up for?

BBC Scotland should have been ashamed of putting Granite Harbour anywhere near a tv screen. It was dire.

I’m not sure you can extrapolate from help or action line calls can you?
Viewing figures, perhaps, but I for one - and I am sure I am not alone - have never rung one of these lines after a programme.

Dramas I have enjoyed on the BBC this last year or so:
This is going to hurt
Chloe
Hidden
Life after Life
Sherwood (best one, in my opinion)
The light in the hall
Trom(Swedish)
Suspect
The Control room
Blood lands
Inside man
Crossfire
The Pact
After Love (film)
Granite Harbour
The English

How can anyone be fed up with all that lot to choose from, quite apart from old favourites like Silent Witness and Death in paradise and call the midwife. Then of course there is the repair shop.

So much to enjoy

I do like I Player I think it is better than the playbacks the other channels have, I pick and choose what I want to watch. We also have Prime and Netflix, the more choice the harder I seem to find anything worthwhile though choice overload often leads to complete disinterest in most of what's on offer as far as I'm concerned. I Player is often the first go to channel for me. I can quite understand that the BBC don't have the captive audience they once would have had, I doubt whether either of my children would bother to watch anything much on the BBC, maybe David Attenborough's Blue Planet and the like would be an exception, but they are very much of the Netflix generation.

Going back a few years when my grandchildren were little I just loved all the Christmas programmes for the very young like The Gruffalo, they are still there but sadly they've outgrown them.

I am certainly fed up with the BBC; the range of programmes on offer this Christmas is shocking. That said, the commercial channels are equally poor, and the excess of advertisements ruins any half -decent programme.
I listen to the radio or more satisfyingly, read a book.

I have always been a big BBC fan but really their Xmas TV was pretty poor. The BBC as we knew it has gone for ever I think.

Yes was there an analysis in the report on the effects of the pandemic on the number of calls.

PS - the drop in action line calls may have something to do with coming out of Covid, during it people couldn't get access to what may help. I'd also say that the drop in calls to action lines is not a reason I'd say I was fed up, its the programmes and the excellent website matters.

Not at all - I love the BBC, not unqualified, of course, it will never suit everyone all the time.

I much prefer the BBC to commercial channels. Channel 4 can be good, but I rarely watch ITV.

The only radio programmes I listen to are Radio 3 and Radio 4, both BBC.

We rarely find anything decent to watch on the BBC, ditto listening to their Radio Stations now that most of the people I used to listen to have been sacked.

I still watch the BBC but mostly on catch-up I think they still some stand out programs.

Probably- I used to go out of my way to try to connect from here but it isn't worth it anymore . We have better here which is a bit of an indictment because our tv isn't known as being much good.
