BBC 4 Extra To Be Wound Up Next Spring

The BBC has to find 500 million in cuts so some services have to go and 4 Extra is one of them.

I'm just surprised it's taken so long to make this decision - this particular service is little more than a repository for dead and lame archive programmes that weren't entertaining, funny or informative the first time around.

ITMA, Whacko, The Clitheroe Kid, Life With The Lyons and cobwebby re-runs of Desert Island Discs to name but a few dead ducks. Not good enough BEEB!

Only the odd Agatha Christie is worthy of a replay. But that's all.
