The BBC has lost the rights.
As yet it has no new home. |

Channel 4! I really wish that the commercial broadcasting companies would get their shit together and let me watch their programmes without ads in return for a small payment.

Why would you pay when you can just record programmes and watch them fifteen minutes after the start, so you can zap through the ads? Doesn't everybody do this?

It seems not. It seems there are still people who sit there and plan their evenings around what's on tv. I once had to watch the X Factor live and almost killed myself.

The X Factor is one of the worst for that. There's a break every ten minutes!

My broader point is just that I'd like to be able to pay to remove ads from everywhere. I get that companies need advertising revenue but I'd prefer to give them money and nuke the ads. The other day I tweeted the head of advertising at Facebook on the subject (he basically told me to piss off - apparently ads are part of the Facebook experience, so that's fine then). |

The ads will mean Bake off is now only 45 minutes rather than 60.

I find the breaks handy in terms of getting snackage & enough alcomohol to make XF bearable

Paul and Mary split over Bake Off
Mary shows loyalty to the BBC by staying while Paul follows the money and head to Channel 4.
Well done Mary I say! |

Catch up TV is a boon - ad breaks eliminated.
I watched two "one hour" dramas a few days back - 93 minutes total. |
