As per title, 11.25 for a movie programme is ridiculous. I like the show but struggle to make it to the end. I know I can record it but that's not my point.
It's not particularily adult, I just dont understand the logic. 10.pm would be about right or even 9.30.
Surely it would have far more viewers if it was shown at a reasonable time.

Claudia is a vampire
BBC1 core viewers might benefit from an old-film retrospective programme.
BBC4 for US box-sets
That guys a little bit pompous and looks down on Claudia whenever she likes a film that isnt really arty/weird
I still remember Barry Norman's review of Basic Instinct when describing Sharon Stone's leg-cross scene he came out with "and you can clearly see her vagina". Pissed myself laughing:D
Claudia Wrinkleman's fugly face requires at the very least Parental Guidance and should not be shown before the watershed or to any body under 18 or indeed anyone of a nervous disposition.
I'd rather watch repeats of Film 77
Bring back Barry Norman
You don't know that the BBC actually produces films do you?
Although in keeping with the BBC, they are more on the art house/limited release side of things.

Channel 4 also produces films, they also have a public service remit.
How it's the BBC's fault that arts programming doesn't put bums on seats, I don't know.
Well at least the BBC is making such 'elitist' material Review show, Culture show, The Imagine series.
Apparently a fair number of those who listen to Kermode's film podcast just listen for the entertainment of 2 middle aged blokes bickering.
Does ITV, Ch4 or Ch5 have a proper film/DVD review show?
It's always started well past 11pm for most of its decades on air, has it not?
I know they gave it a shot in the post-news 10.35pm slot about a year or so ago, but it didn't do that well. Was hovering around a million viewers, and a sub-10% audience share, which is rather below average. So the earlier start wasn't helping bring in many new viewers, which is presumably why they've decided it's OK to move it back again.
I wonder whether BBC2 might not be a better fit if it was to move earlier. It doesn't strike me as primetime BBC One material.
Well aren't you a charmer? Perhaps you thought you were on the Daily Mail message boards?
As far as I'm aware, Barry Norman isn't much of a looker either...
I agree with OP, time for this show is ridiculously late but thanks to PVRs we are no longer slave to TV companies' schedules!
But time and channel scheduling still matters, no matter what you think.
That can't be a serious question can it.
YES PEOPLE STILL WATCH LIVE TV
In other news, the stupid are always with us.
Is it really necessary to be so patronising?
I'm sure the BBC is quite happy for tv viewers to watch their movies but they probably don't want them watching other people's too much (apart from "Skyfall", obviously, given the amount of promotion the allegedly non-commercial BBC has devoted to it).
Another reason may be that film clips cost more if a programme uses them in peak time but this is just speculation on my part.
Antonia quirk does some excellent pieces in it too, she talks to camera brilliantly.
Maybe if it was on bbc2 it could be shown earlier as some have suggested.
Since Barry Norman left the programme because of the irregular scheduling, he's hardly likely to want to return when it's being scheduled as it currently is.
Is English your first language?
