Hardly. More like: "This programme is one that used to include scenes

Yep, dumbing down is the first step on the road to oblivion. In fact on
that observation the BBC should have been obliterated long ago :-)


Good job you put the smiley. ;o)
Looking at the dire 'science' offerings now being shown by the
Discovery network and History channel, at least BBC science programs
do contain *some* science rather than 'rednecks' bidding on storage
lockers or Eric-Von-Fvcking-Daniken appearing on shows like
'Ancient Aliens'.. All TV science is being dumbed down in every
Western nation for some reason. Worrying.
