EE was a good episode, and kudos to them beating Corrie! See it can be done. Great achievement for an out of slot episode too.

Am I five years old? What a ridiculous question. I ask why you are grumpy because your posts suggest that you are. I am a 47 year old man who has an ability to observe how others perceive things. I do think BBC News has unwarranted or lengthy Sports bulletins sometimes - they missed several of Theresa May's cabinet postings due to their insistence on reporting Sports/Weather News in their usual slots - but overall, I find BBC News an excellent service. It seems to be able to identify the mood of its audience. If anything significant had happened, then chances are all Olympic coverage would just be switched to BBC2 or suspended depending on how important it was. But, there is nothing significant happening. The PM is on holiday until next Wednesday, EU leaders are also in summer recess. The American election isn't until November and the Labour leadership has been reported - and even had a live debate on BBC2 yesterday. The wars all over the world are still the same wars and have not changed, we don't get to hear about them ad nauseum anyway. BBC local News is still reporting local News. BBC South for instance, had an in depth report on illegal migrants coming into the ports at Portsmouth and Southampton as they look for other ways to enter England. So, there are News stories happening all the time.
The emphasis on the Olympics is because it is currently the biggest story occurring in our country. Our team has made history. Their success is unprecedented. We have won Gold medals in almost ALL sports. People are excited about it and want to know about it. After all, BBC News is meant to reflect British News as a priority unless International News supersedes that priority. So, for the sake of a fortnight, where people generally seem to be a bit cheerier as we enjoy our country's success at a major International event, I'd say the News coverage is pretty much spot on. |

With the Comedy sitcom series I loved the fact that the BBC opted out of doing an Allo Allo story because they were afraid doing a comedy about nazis would upset people.
As opposed to Alf Garnett, the innuendo on Are you being served - and, um, the nazis were certainly mentioned a few times in Goodnight Sweetheart. Also just heard that ITV have commissioned a 3 x 1 hour series provisionally titled - Sex Transition Clinic (ugh!) - following patients before, during and after treatment at London's swish private transgender clinic on Wimpole Street where folk from all over the world go if they can afford not to have to trust the NHS to do GRS. From Renegade and Storyvault. So as I will call it Boy Meets Girl meets ITV factual (God help them!) |

1) The sales chart is not a system, it's a count of the singles or albums sold during the week. The situation regarding Sex Pistols was pretty upfront at the time, the Chart Company deliberately chose to ignore some sales for record stores (I think maybe independent one or something like that). This meant that God Save the Queen missed out of the top spot, despite being the single that was purchased the most that week.
On the other hand, though, you could easily argue that given it wasn't played on TV and radio, and a huge number of shops weren't selling it, it's remarkable it got as high as number two in any case. Quote:
Steve what are your thoughts on Victoria and Are You Being Served going head to head?

With the BBC only having one Olympic channel from 2018, wouldn't it be great if they just bit the bullet and made it BBC Two?
The Winter Olympics of 2018 would be the ideal opportunity to get viewers 'conditioned' to switching to BBC Two and knowing that's where they have to go. It's not possible to say it can all go on one channel. The benefits you get from the Olympics being on BBC1 and occasionally having to get out of the way far outweighs those of putting them all on BBC2 and having DIY SOS on BBC1 opposite the 100m. You lose all the casual audience. When Dan Walker tweeted about BBC4 the other day, someone said "Is that even a channel?". I doubt we'd get that kind of stuff if it was on Sky Sports 5, Quote:

As opposed to Alf Garnett, the innuendo on Are you being served - and, um, the nazis were certainly mentioned a few times in Goodnight Sweetheart. More likely is the fact they're already remaking a Lloyd and Croft sitcom in Are You Being Served, so why remake another one? Let alone the fact they did an Allo Allo revival less than a decade ago. |

None of the soaps are to be fair. EE is doing better on BBC1 than it would be doing on BBC2.
I'm glad to see it supported and kept on the main channel for once. All said and done it is still one of the beeb's most popular shows that contributes significantly to share week in week out. They throw it under a bus way too easily sometimes. Not saying this is true of you Ritchie but knowing this thread some will have only wanted it moved to weaken its position. I bet the idea of it being on 2 and against Emmerdale brought sheer delight to a few. Sadly, for them, it was not to be. If there hadn't been an onslaught of Emmerdale against it then actually I wouldn't have minded seeing it on 2. |

I'm not one of the seven dwarves btw, so perhaps you'd like to raise your game when engaging in debate by quoting me? As to the rest of your post, you yet again see what you want to see when it comes to anything and everything to do with the BBC. I did NOT say do not report on the Olympics, simply position them where they belong - After other news of more importance, after all coverage is omnipresent the rest of the day with round-ups available too so why does it need to bleed into the 6pm news as well which has been hijacked for the length of the games now with the lead story being the Games on most occasions? A sense of proportion is required here for a news-gatherer that used to command global respect but now resembles a giddy teenagers Twitter feed. Quote:
....and if you want a half decent news service at moment you need to watch Sky. Lead yesterday on special report of Iran involvement in Syria.

That's no justification for promoting it to the lead story night after night.
I was talking about the likes of Sky and C4, not the papers. Quote:
Brexit, New PM, Aleppo, Trump/Clinton, US shootings etc....By every commentators admission these are the most turbulent times in living memory but Trotty and her BF just won medals so let's hear about that first.
So you heard the Olympic news first - your "hard news" followed, and was covered afterwards (according to perceived relevance and change).For example, what was new to say about the new PM (apart from the news that BoJo is the most senior member of the Cabinet in charge)? Or Trump/Clinton for that matter? Even Brexit has gone a bit quieter (apart from x blaming y because z is happening or is likely to happen) |

Andf that's why I mentioned the restricted rights to clips, the newspaper coverage perhaps indicates that other media outlets believe that their readers also have a real interest in the Olympic news, to a point where they are prepared to put it on their front page (as opposed to the more normal sports pages), and relegate other stories lower down the page or inside.

I don't want to have to endure trivia to get to real news. I wouldn't want to sit through entertainment news first either before I hear about events of real global importance. You would agree that a sensible running order is necessary and desirable when putting together a half-hour news bulletin, yes? Of course you would and if this was any other broadcaster than the Beeb you'd be pillorying them for it. |

Yes, and as far as the Olympics is concerned, it was a sensible running order.Quote:

No I wouldn't, because I take a wider view of things and appreciate that others don't have the same news interests, priorities or expectations.

It's not all about what you want though, and in fairness, the news was there, just not where you wanted it to be to suit your convenience.

No. It's the BBC News, not the BBC Olympics News. For something that's on 12 hours+ a day it does not need to be the lead story on the news virtually every night. They're games - When have games ever been the most important thing in the world? Except to children obviously...Quote:

The "wider view" is to put the news reporting of the games after the real news, not as the manufactured self-aggrandising lead-story purely so the Beeb can bathe in the reflected glory.

Stories should be ranked in order of importance. Medals wins have never been the most important story of the day. Nothing to do with my preferences and it seems the editors of C4 and Sky would seem to agree that they should be lower down the running order.

The "wider view" is to put the news reporting of the games after the real news, not as the manufactured self-aggrandising lead-story purely so the Beeb can bathe in the reflected glory. August is always light news month, look Andrew Marr, Sunday politics, Question time are always off. The MPs and PM are on leave. Today's current stories. Exam results. Obesity. Syria children. Not a lot, there is a train carriage panel that's fallen on some people on a train. The Olympics the top world sports event is the biggest news, you may not think it but it's far ahead of anything else, yes once every four years, it leads on the front pages of newspapers each and everyday so thier editors agree and add pages inside. One or two think News has to be bad news, no we are doing well, it's great, far better than English football which was beyond a joke! Other TV channels have to show less, 1/ as the BBC has the rights, 2/ as they know if anyone is switching on for games news, they will automatically go to the BBC so why bother? You say the BBC can bathe in reflective glory, not so, it's getting some criticism on channel hoping, and style in the parks, with Clare Balding at 7 pm, and John Inverdale. |
