Why not just give us the long version every month? Because of the unique way the BBC is funded Think yourself lucky you get TSAN in any form as the BBC clearly don't give a **** about the viewing public. -- The BBC wanted to dump TSAN a long time ago, before digital TV, as they abandoned their public-service educational remit to become a semi- commercial broadcaster, but there was some kind of contractual obligation involved, so they cut it down and showed it at stupid o'clock, being the least they could get away with. When BBC4 started, it seems they were put under some pressure, Sir Patrick having some influential friends, to give it a proper slot in peak-time, but they were still contractually required to put the short version out on the analogue service. |
